| [Flash Point] 43-93 (closed cup) | |
| [Fire Fighting] Dry chemicals, carbon dioxide for small fires. Water spray, foam for large fires. | |
| [Fire Potential] Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] Seek medical assistance. | |
| [Inhalation] Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. | |
| [Skin] Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. | |
| [Storage] Store in cool, dry, well ventilated, secure area out of reach children and animals. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. | |
| [Skin] Profuse sweating is common. Pallor may be noted. Dermal sensitization has been reported. | |
| [Eyes] Constriction of the pupil, tearing, and blurred vision are common. Prolonged dialation of the pupils may occur. Salivation commonly occurs. | |
| [Ingestion] Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea are common muscarinic effects. Both painless and frank clinical pancreatitis have been reported. | |
| [Hazards] Containers may explode when heated. | |
| [UN (DOT)] 2783 | |
| [Personal Protection] Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. | |
| [Respirators] Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | |
| [Exposure Effects] Reduced body temperature or elevated body temperature may occur. Low heart rate and abnormally low blood pressure may develop after moderate to severe poisoning. Rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and changes in respiratory rate may also occur. Early giddiness, anxiety headache, and restlessness followed by ataxia, drowsiness, and confusion are common with moderate to severe exposures. Sporadic reports of human birth defects related to organophosphates have not been fully verified. | |
| [Exposure limit(s)] TLV: ppm; 10 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1994-1995). OSHA PEL: TWA 15 mg/m3 (total) TWA 5 mg/m3 (resp) NIOSH REL: TWA 10 mg/m3 (total) TWA 5 mg/m3 (resp) | |
