Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical safety
goggles; face shield; Bu. Mines approved respirator; leather or rubber safety shoes; butyl rubber
gloves; Symptoms Following Enposure: Absorption of toxic quantities by any route causes cyanosis
(blue discoloration of lips, nails, skin); nausea, vomiting, and coma may follow. Repeated inhalation
of low concentration may cause pallor, low-grade secondary anemia, and loss of appetite. Contact with
eyes causes imtation; General Treatment for Exposure: Get medical attention following all exposure
to this compound. INHALATION: move to fresh air. INGESTION if victim is conscious, promptly
induce vomiting by giving lukewarm soapy water or mustard and water. EYES: flush with copious
amounts of water for at least 15 min., holding lids apart. SKIN: remove all contaminated clothing;
wash affected areas immediately and thoroughly with plenty of warm water and soap; Toxicity by
Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): 5 ppm; Short-Tern Exposure Limits: Data not available; Toxicity
by Ingestion: Grade 2, oral LD,,=900 mglkg (rat); Late Toxicity: Causes tumors in urinary bladder
