TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. | NO open flames. | Use water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust. | |
| EXPOSURE | See EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | |
| Inhalation | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. | |
| Skin | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. | |
| Eyes | Wear safety goggles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. | |
| Ingestion | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. | |

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in seafood. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
| NOTES |
|
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Do NOT take working clothes home. This substance does not usually occur as a pure substance but as a component of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) mixtures. Human population studies have associated PAH's exposure with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Card has been partially updated in January 2008: see Occupational Exposure Limits. |
