| [Storage] Keep tightly closed. Store in a cool and dry place. | |
| [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] Respiratory tract irritation and bronchitis have been reported. | |
| [Skin] Percutaneous absorption through intact skin has been noted. | |
| [Eyes] Eye and mucous membrane irritation may occur. | |
| [Ingestion] Nausea, diffuse pain, and indigestion have been reported in workers with prolonged exposure to biphenyl. | |
| [Hazards] Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. | |
