death. Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear proper protective equipment when handling this compound.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
Chronic Health Effects
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
Toxicity to the reproductive system: Not available. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target
organs damage. Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an
accumulation in one or many human organs.

Section IV.First Aid Measures
Eye ContactCheck for and remove any contact lenses. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention.
Skin ContactIf the chemical gets spilled on a clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical touches the victim's exposed
skin, such as the hands: Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash any contaminated clothing before reusing.
InhalationIf the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not
improve.
IngestionINDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic
material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION in
case of ingestion of a radioactive material.

Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering ControlsUse process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator should be used to avoid
