Skin: Yes (Gosselin 1984, p. 11-137)
Ingestion: Yes (Sax 1984, p. 1868)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Methylmercuric
dicyanamide is extremely toxic to humans. The probable lethal dose for
humans is 5-50 mg/kg of body weight (between 7 drops and one teaspoon for
a 150 Ib. person) (*Gosselin 1984). Humans may be poisoned by feeding on
the flesh of animals which have ingested this fungicide ("Clark 1981).
Eating treated seeds may also cause poisoning. The poisoning may show
delayed manifestations on the nervous system. Patients frequently become
gradually worse after their illness is recognized and exposure is stopped
(Hayes, 1982, p. 21). This compound is a strong skin irritant and
produces blisters and other dermatitis ("Gosselin 1976).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Prolonged exposure to skin may produce
blisters (*Gosselin 1984). In the case of ingestion there is nausea and
abdominal pain. Vomiting and diarrhea may occur. Burning or prickling of
the lips, tongue, and extremities. The patient may be confused,
hallucinate, be irritable, have disturbed sleep, lose muscular
coordination and lose memory. Visual fields may narrow concentrically;
emotional instability may occur as well as inability to concentrate, with
stupor and coma (*Rumack 1975 to Present).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Mercury-Based
Pesticide, n.o.s.) Move victim to fresh air; call emergency medical
care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material, immediately
flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Speed in
removing material from skin is of extreme importance. Remove and isolate
contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep victim quiet and
maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be delayed; keep victim

Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes (*NIOSH 1979)
Skin: Yes (*Rumack 1975 to Present)
Ingestion: Yes (-Rumack 1975 to Present)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Super toxic; probable
oral lethal dose in humans is less than 5 mg/kg or a taste (less than 7
drops) for a 70 kg (150 Ib.) person (*Gosselin 1976). Vapors are highly
irritant and very poisonous ("Merck 1976).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Cyanogen bromide's toxic action
resembles that of hydrocyanic acid; it has a pronounced irritant effect
and high concentrations may cause pulmonary edema (*Encyc Occupat Health
and Safety 1971). High concentrations produce excessive respiration
(causing increased uptake of cyanide), then labored breathing, paralysis,
unconsciousness, convulsions and respiratory arrest. Headache, dizziness,
nausea, and vomiting may occur with lesser concentrations. Chronic
exposure may cause fatigue and weakness ("Merck 1976). Patients may
experience confusion, anxiety, an initial rise in blood pressure with a
decreased heart beat followed by an increased heart beat; cyanosis is not
a consistent finding, in fact, the patient may be reddish. An odor of
bitter almonds on the patient's breath may be present (*Rumack 1975 to
Present).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Individuals with
chronic diseases of the kidneys, respiratory tract, skin, or thyroid are
at greater risk of developing toxic cyanide effects (*Encyc Occupat Health
and Safety 1983).
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Move victim to fresh air; call
emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material,
immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme importance.
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep
victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be
delayed; keep victim under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).

ETHYLBIS(2-CHLOROETHYL)AMINE
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): This compound is a
nitrogen mustard. It is highly irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous
membranes (Merck 1983, p. 683). Nitrogen mustards have preferential
toxicity for rapidly dividing cells. Workers exposed briefly to estimated
concentrations of 10-100 ppm by inhalation became severely ill (Encyc
Occupat Health and Safety 1983, p. 462). The median lethal dosage is
1,500 mg/minute/mj (U.S. Army 1975, p. 3-9).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Irritates the eyes in quantities which
do not significantly damage the skin or respiratory tract, insofar as
single exposures are concerned. After mild vapor exposure, there may be
no skin lesions. After severe vapor exposures, or after exposure to the
liquid, erythema may appear. Irritation and itching may occur. Later,
blisters may appear in the erythematous areas. Effects on the respiratory
tract include irritation of the nose and throat, hoarseness progressing to
loss of voice, and a persistent cough. Fever, labored respiration, and
moist rales develop. Bronchial pneumonia may appear after the first 24
hours. Following ingestion or systemic absorption, material causes
inhibition of cell mitosis, resulting in depression of the blood-forming
mechanism and injury to other tissues. Severe diarrhea, which may be
hemorrhagic, occurs. Lesions are most marked in the small intestine and
consist of degenerative changes and necrosis in the mucous membranes.
Ingestion of 2 to 6 milligrams causes nausea and vomiting (U.S. Army 1975,
p. 3-9).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Nitrogen
Mustards) Stop exposure and treat symptomatically (Gilman 1985, p.
1257). (Non-Specific -- Poisonous Liquid, n.o.s.) Move victim to fresh
air; call emergency medical pare. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact
with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at
least 15 minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme
importance. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the
site. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects
may be delayed; keep victim under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).

SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Toxic effects are a
result of systemic cyanide poisoning (*Merck 1976). (Non-Specific --
Cyanide) Few poisons are more rapidly lethal. Average oral lethal dose
for hydrogen cyanide is approximately 60-90 rag (corresponds to 200 mg of
potassium cyanide). Cause of death is lack of oxygen to the body's cells
(especially the brain and heart) as a result of the chemical inhibiting
cell enzymes (Gosselin 1984, pp. III-124-125).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: (Non-Specific -- Cyanide) Symptoms
include rapid and irregular breathing, anxiety, confusion, odor of bitter
almonds (on breath or vomitus), nausea, vomiting (if oral exposure),
irregular heart beat, a feeling of tightness in the chest, bright pink
coloration of the skin, sweating, protruding eyeballs, dilated pupils,
unconsciousness followed by convulsions, involuntary urination and
defecation, paralysis and respiratory arrest (heart will beat after
breathing stops) (Gosselin 1984, p. III-126-127).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Cyanide) Get
emergency medical treatment immediately. If victim has taken the
substance by ingestion (orally) and is not showing symptoms, give syrup of
ipecac. If there is exposure through skin contact, wash immediately with
soap and water. If severe skin contact, treat patient for oral or
inhalation exposure. Exposed eyes should be flushed copiously with water
for at least 15 minutes. If the victim stops breathing before emergency
medical treatment is available, give artificial respiration or oxygen, but
avoid mouth to mouth respiration; also avoid contact with contaminated
skin (Gosselin 1984, p. III-127; *Rumack 1975 to Present).
SECTION VI -- USE INFORMATION
Used in pharmaceutical and polymer synthesis ('"Merck 1976).
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
(Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled)
(Non-Specific -- Propionitrile) Do not touch spilled material; stop leak
if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Absorb
small spills with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material. Dike
far ahead of spill for later disposal. Isolate hazard area and deny
entry. Stay upwind. Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and
special protective clothing (DOT 1984, Guide 28).

ETHYL THIOCYANATE
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): This material is highly
toxic if ingested (Sax 1984, p. 1394).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Toxicity hazard similar to thiocyanate
(Sax 1984, p. 1394). Prolonged absorption may produce various skin
eruptions, runny nose, and occasionally dizziness, cramps, nausea,
vomiting and mild or severe disturbances of the nervous system (Sax 1984,
p. 2568). Ethyl thiocyanate is an aliphatic thiocyanate (Gosselin 1981,
p. 11-288). Aliphatic thiocyanates have the following signs and
symptoms. The ingestion of a concentrated solution may lead to vomiting.
The principal systemic reaction is probably one of central nervous
depression, interrupted by periods of restlessness, abnormally fast and
deep respiratory movements and convulsions. Death is usually due to
respiratory arrest from paralysis of the medullary centers. In nonfatal
cases injuries to the liver and kidneys may appear (Gosselin 1981, p.
111-16).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Treatment is as for aliphatic
thiocyanates (Gosselin 1981, p. 11-288). Because cyanide is probably
largely responsible for poisonings, antidotal measures against cyanide
should be instituted promptly (Gosselin 1981, p. 111-16). First aid for
cyanide includes moving the victim to fresh air. Call emergency medical
care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material, immediately
flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Speed in
removing material from skin is of extreme importance. Remove and isolate
contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep victim quiet and
maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be delayed, keep victim
under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).
SECTION VI -- USE INFORMATION

TRIS(2-CHLOROETHYL)AMINE
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Most toxic of the
nitrogen mustards. The median lethal dose for inhalation is
1,500 mg-min/m3; for skin absorption (masked personnel) is
10,000 mg-min/m1. The medium incapacitating dose for eye injury is
200 mg-min/m3; for skin absorption is 2,500 mg-min/m3 (U.S. Army 1975,
p. 3-10).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Irritates the eyes in quantities which
do not significantly damage the skin or respiratory tract, insofar as
single exposures are concerned. After mild vapor exposure, there may be
no skin lesions. After severe vapor exposures, or after exposure to the
liquid, erythema may appear. Irritation and itching may occur. Later,
blisters may appear in the erythematous areas. Effects on the respiratory
tract include irritation of the nose and throat, hoarseness progressing to
loss of voice, and a persistent cough. Fever, labored respiration, and
moist rales develop. Bronchial pneumonia may appear after the first 24
hours. Following ingestion or systemic absorption, material causes
inhibition of cell mitosis, resulting in depression of the blood-forming
mechanism and injury to other tissues. Severe diarrhea, which may be
hemorrhagic, occurs. Lesions are most marked in the small intestine and
consist of degenerative changes and necrosis in the mucous membranes.
Ingestion of 2 to 6 milligrams causes nausea and vomiting (U.S. Army 1975,
p. 3-11).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Nitrogen
Mustards) Stop exposure and treat symptomatically (Gilman 1985, p.
1257). (Non-Specific -- Poisonous Liquid, n.o.s.) Move victim to fresh
air; call emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact
with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at
least 15 minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme
importance. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the

SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes (*Rumack 1975 to Present)
Skin: Yes (*Gosselin 1976)
Ingestion: Yes (*Rumack 1975 to Present)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): This material is highly
toxic if ingested (Sax 1984, p. 1934). It is a rapidly acting poison
(*Gosselin 1976).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: (Non-Specific -- Thiocyanates)
Prolonged absorption may produce various skin eruptions, runny nose, and
occasionally, dizziness, cramps, nausea, vomiting and mild or severe
disturbances of the nervous system (Sax 1984, p. 2568). (Non-Specific --
Aliphatic Thiocyanates) The ingestion of a concentrated solution may lead
to vomiting. The principal systemic reaction is probably one of central
nervous system depression, interrupted by periods of restlessness,
abnormally fast and deep respiratory movements and convulsions. Death is
usually due to respiratory arrest from paralysis of the medullary
centers. In nonfatal cases injuries to the liver and kidneys may appear
(Gosselin 1981, p. 111-16).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Aliphatic
Thiocyanates) Because cyanide is probably largely responsible for
poisonings, antidotal measures against cyanide should be instituted
promptly (Gosselin 1981, p. 111-16). (Non-Specific -- Cyanide Solution)
Move victim to fresh air; call emergency medical care. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In
case of contact with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running
water for at least 15 minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of
extreme importance. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at
the site. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature.
Effects may be delayed, keep victim under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).
SECTION VI -- USE INFORMATION
It is used as an agricultural insecticide, a fumigant (*Gosselin 1976),
and as a research chemical. No evidence of commercial production in the
U.S. (*SRI).

Flammable Limits:
LEL: 0.9% (*NFPA 1978)
UEL: 9.5% (*NFPA 1978)
Extinguishing Methods: Water gently applied to surface or foam may
cause frothing which will extinguish the fire (*NFPA 1978). If material
is on fire or involved in fire do not extinguish fire unless flow can be
stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water
may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities
of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol"
foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Use water spray to absorb vapor
(Student 1981, p. 503).
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If water gets below the surface of
the liquid, it will turn to steam and cause frothing. Full protective
clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber gloves,
boots and bands around legs, arms, and waist should be provided. No skin
surface should be exposed (*NFPA 1978). Move container from fire area if
you can do it without risk. Cool containers that are exposed to flames
with water from the side until well after fire is out. Dike fire control
water for later disposal; do not scatter the material (DOT 1984, Guide 57).

Do not touch spilled material; stop leak if this can be done without
risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. For a relatively small spill or
leak, isolate the area in all directions for 220 feet. For a larger spill
(e.g., from a tank) first isolate the area for 450 feet in all directions,
and then evacuate in a downwind direction an area 1.1 miles in width and
1.6 miles in length (DOT 1984, Guide 55 and Table of Isolation and
Evacuation Distances).
Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective
clothing. Take up small spills with sand or other noncombustible
absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. For
large spills dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. It may be
necessary to seek emergency assistance (DOT 1984, Guide 55).

similar to those for organic phosphorus compounds (Hayes 1982, p. 437).
Symptoms of poisoning by organic phosphorus compounds include headache,
giddiness, nervousness, blurred vision, weakness, nausea, cramps,
diarrhea, and discomfort in the chest. Signs include sweating, myosis,
tearing, salivation and other excessive respiratory tract secretion,
vomiting, cyanosis, uncontrollable muscle twitches followed by muscular
weakness, convulsions, coma, loss of reflexes, and loss of muscular
control (Hayes 1982, p. 301).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Procedures for carbamate
pesticides, solid, are as follows. Move victim to fresh air and call
emergency care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, provide oxygen. Remove and isolate contaminated
clothing and shoes at the site. In case of contact, immediately flush
skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes. Speed in removing material from

Conditions to Avoid: Not Found
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes (*Arena 1974)
Skin: Yes (*DOT 1984)
Ingestion: Yes (*Gosselin 1976)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): This compound is very
caustic when ingested. Zinc phosphide reacts with water and acid in the
stomach and causes severe irritation (*Doull 1980). The probable oral
lethal dose is 5-50 mg/kg, or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoonful for a 70
kg (150 Ib.) person. Most patients die after about 30 hours from
peripheral vascular collapse secondary to the compound's direct effects.
Extensive liver damage and kidney damage can also occur. Ingestion of 4-5
grams has produced death in human adults, but also doses of 25 to 50 grams
have been survived (*Gosselin 1976). The lowest oral lethal dose reported
for women is 80 mg/kg (*NIOSH/RTECS 1985).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Earliest symptoms of oral ingest ion
include nausea, abdominal pain, tightness in chest, excitement, agitation
and chills. Early labored breathing, shock, halted urinary output,
metabolic acidosis, muscle cramps and convulsions are grave prognostic
signs ("Gosselin 1976). Inhalation of zinc phosphide dust is followed in
several hours by vomiting, diarrhea, bluing of skin, rapid pulse, fever
and shock. The breath smells of phosphine (*Arena 1974). The compound is
very caustic and may cause closing of the esophagus (*Rumack 1975 to
Present).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Move victim to fresh air; call
emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Remove and isolate contaminated
clothing and shoes at the site. In case of contact with material,
immediately flush skin and eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature (DOT

anticipated, wear full protective clothing. For a land spill, dig a pit,
pond, lagoon, or holding area to contain liquid or solid material. For
water spill, neutralize with agricultural lime (slaked lime), crusted
limestone, or sodium bicarbonate. Use mechanical dredges or lifts to
remove immobilized wastes of pollutants and precipitates (Student 1981, p.
541). Small dry spills: with clean shovel place material into clean, dry
container and cover; move containers from spill area. Large spills: dike
spill for later disposal. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp
to minimize spreading. Clean up only under supervision of an expert.

1983, p. 1337)
Skin: Yes (Non-Specific -- Alkyl Mercury Compounds)
(Encyc Occupat Health and Safety 1983, p. 1337)
Ingestion: Yes (Non-Specific -- Ethylmercuric
Compounds) (Hayes 1982, p. 22)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): (Non-Specific -- Alkyl
Mercury Compound) This compound is a nervous system toxicant on either
acute or chronic exposure. It is especially hazardous because of its
persistence in the body and its transport to the brain (Gosselin 1984, p.
11-136, III-267). Skin contact with concentrated solutions results in
irritation and blistering. Organic mercury compounds have caused fetal
poisonings in pregnant women. Poisoning outbreaks have occurred from
ingestion of grain treated with ethyl mercury or eating animals fed
treated grain (Hayes 1982, p. 21-23). A lowest lethal oral dose of 8805
Vg/kg for 13 weeks was reported (NIOSH/RTECS 1983, Volume 2,
p. 663).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: (Non-Specific -- Alkyl Mercury
Compound) Signs and symptoms are due to the accumulation of mercury in
the central nervous system and appear with a latency period that may vary
from one to several weeks (Encyc Occupat Health and Safety 1983, p. 1337).
The victim may complain of headache, prickling and abnormal sensations of
the tongue, lips, fingers and toes, and other non-specific dysfunctions.
More severe poisonings lead to symptoms including tremors of the hands,
loss of side vision, and slight loss of coordination (especially
noticeable in speech, writing and gait). Irritability and bad temper are
frequently present and may progress to mania. Mental retardation is a
symptom, especially in children (Hayes 1982, p. 21).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: This compound is an alkylmercury
fungicide (Buchel 1983, p. 249). Move victim to fresh air; call emergency
medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material,
immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15

on tho. nervous system (Doull 1980, p. 371). This compound may cause death
through respiratory arrest (*Gosselin 1976).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Symptoms are similar to those of
parathion. Common symptoms upon inhalation include: nausea, vomiting,
abdominal cramps, diarrhea, excessive salivation, headaches, dizziness,
weakness, runny nose, and sensation of tightness in chest. Other symptoms
include: loss of muscle coordination, slurring of speech, mental
confusion, and disorientation. Further exposure symptoms include
convulsions, loss of bladder control, random jerky movements, and coma
(*Gosselin 1976).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus
Pesticide, Liquid, n.o.s.) Move victim to fresh air; call emergency
medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Remove and isolate contaminated
clothing and shoes at the site. In case of contact with material,
immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme importance.
Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be
delayed; keep victim under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).

SECTION VII -- PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
(Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled)
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticides) Keep material out of water
courses and sewer. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water
spray to knock down vapor. Do not touch spilled material. Wear
self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing (Student 1981,
p. 384).
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, Liquid, n.o.s.) Keep
unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind;
keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.
Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective
clothing. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing at the site. Do not
touch spilled material; stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use
water spray to reduce vapors. Small spills: absorb with sand or other
noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later
disposal. Large spills: dike far ahead of spill for later disposal (DOT
1984, Guide 55).

SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Thallium is a digestive
tract irritant and nervous system toxicant (Doull 1980, p. 457). It is
classified as extremely toxic. Probable oral lethal dose (humans) is 5-50
mg/kg, or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoon for 70 kg person (150 Ib.)
(*Gosselin 1976). Teratogenic effects are noted after chronic
intoxication (*Venugopal 1978).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Symptoms appear within 12-24 hours
after a single toxic dose or after several weeks of small daily doses. In
acute poisoning dominant symptoms include severe stomach cramps, vomiting
and diarrhea. In severe cases nervous system damage may be indicated by
tremors, delirium, convulsions, paralysis, and coma culminating in death.
Symptoms of subacute poisonings include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, leg pains, tremors, and tingling sensations in the hands and

Flash Point (Method Used): Not Found
Flammable Limits: Not Combustible (NIOSH/OSHA 1978, p. 112)
LEL: Not Found
DEL: Not Found
Extinguishing Methods: Fire involving hydrogen peroxide should be
fought with water, since the use of chemicals may accelerate decomposition
("Encyc Occupat Health and Safety 1971).
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep
upwind. Wear respiratory protection if material is misting. Wear boots,
protective gloves and goggles. Do not handle broken packages without
protective equipment (Student 1981, p. 282).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Hydrogen peroxide is not a
flammable substance, but if high concentrations are allowed to contact
combustible materials, spontaneous ignition may occur. In addition, the
oxygen released in decomposition will promote combustion. Vapor
concentrations greater than 40 percent by weight can be decomposed
explosively at one atmosphere pressure ('-Encyc Occupat Health and Safety
1971). When highly concentrated or pure hydrogen peroxide is exposed to
heat, mechanical impact, or decomposing catalysts, such as metals and
their salts, dusts and alkalies, severe explosion hazard may occur
(*Martin 1978).
SECTION IV -- REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Unstable: Yes (*Merck 1976)
Stable:
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with combustible materials.
Avoid contamination from dust, metal, etc. as such contamination may

materials (*Merck 1976) and keep away from heat and sunlight (*ASHP).
Powerful oxidizer (NIOSH/OSHA 1978, p. 112).
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Solutions of hydrogen peroxide
in concentration in excess of 65 percent by weight heat up spontaneously,
decomposing to water and oxygen. For 90 percent concentration solutions,
hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed due to the introduction of a catalytic
decomposition agent. It can get quite hot and perhaps start fire (*Sax

SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes ("Sax 1975)
Skin: Yes (*Encyc Occupat Health and Safety 1971)
Ingestion: Yes (*Sax 1975)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Inhalation exposure to
11-23 mg/m* produces severe choking. 30-60 mg/m3 is extremely
dangerous. 200 mg/m1 is fatal in a short time. Vapors can cause acute
as well as chronic poisoning. It has cumulative properties (*Encyc
Occupat Health and Safety 1971). It is irritating to the eyes and
respiratory tract (*NFPA 1978). Poisoning is due to the corrosive action
on the gastrointestinal tract. Nervous, circulatory and renal
disturbances occur after ingestion. Ingestion of liquid can cause death
due to circulatory collapse and asphyxiation from swelling of the
respiratory tract (*Gosselin 1976). The lowest oral lethal dose reported
for humans is 14 mg/kg. The lowest lethal inhalation concentration
reported for humans is 1000 ppm (*NIOSH/RTECS 1985).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Inhalation: small amount will cause
coughing, nose bleed, dizziness, and headache followed by abdominal pain
and diarrhea and sometimes measles-like eruptions on trunk and
extremities. Skin contact causes pustules and painful nodules in exposed
areas of skin; if not removed will cause deep, painful ulcers. Ingestion
(of liquid) causes burning pain in mouth and esophagus, lips and mucous
membranes stained brown, severe gastroenteritis evidenced by abdominal
pain and diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, cyanosis, and shock (^Clayton and
Clayton 1981-82). Regular exposure to concentrations approaching the
permissible exposure level causes irritability, loss of appetite, joint
pains and dyspepsia. Other symptoms include loss of cornea reflexes,
inflammation of the throat, thyroid dysfunction, cardiovascular disorders,
disorders of digestive tract (*Encyc Occupat Health and Safety 1971).

donned special protective clothing approved for this material, do not
expose yourself to any risk of this material touching you. Stop leak if
you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors but do not
put water on leak or spill area. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. A
fine water spray applied to the edge of the spill pool will start a hot
flare fire which will burn the spilled material. (Use extreme caution.)

Ingestion: Yes (Gosselin 1984, p. 111-42)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): It can cause death. In
acute exposures, it is extremely toxic and caustic, owing not only to the
poisonous nature of arsenic, but also to the release of hydrochloric acid
in the presence of water (*Grant 1974). Exposure to the skin causes local
irritation and blisters. Inhalation or ingestion causes hemorrhagic
gastroenteritis resulting in loss of fluids and electrolytes, collapse,
shock and death (Gosselin 1984, p. 111-42). Chronic poisoning can lead to
peripheral nerve damage, skin conditions, liver damage ("Sax 1975, *Merck
1976); and it has been implicated in the induction of skin and lung cancer
(Gosselin 1984, p. 111-42, Oilman 1980). The fatal human dose is 70-180
mg depending on the weight of the victim (Weiss 1980, p. 128).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Death is possible. Symptoms usually
appear one-half to one hour after ingestion. Symptoms include a sweetish
metallic taste, garlicky odor on the breath and stools, constriction in
throat, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, bluing
of the skin, weak pulse, dizziness, headaches, coma, and convulsions
(*Gosselin 1976). Exposure to vapors causes spasm of eyelids, tearing,
pain, and reddening (*Grant 1974).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Move victim to fresh air and call
emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if

Skin: Yes (NIOSH/OSHA 1978, p. 63)
Ingestion: Yes (NIOSH/OSHA 1978, p. 63)
Health Hazards (Acute, Delayed, and Chronic): Camphechlor is extremely
toxic: the probable oral lethal dose (human) is 5-50 mg/kg or between 7
drops and 1 teaspoonful for 70 kg (150 Ib.) person (*Gosselin 1984).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Acute toxicity is manifested as
generalized convulsions preceded by cyanosis. Also reported is sudden
exertional dyspnea (labored breathing), tachycardia (rapid heart rate),
weakness and low blood pressure (Gosselin 1984, p. III-387). Lethal doses
cause respiratory failure. Hypersalivation, leg and back muscle spasms,
nausea, vomiting, hyperexcitability, tremors, shivering, clonic
convulsions, and tetanic muscular contractions of all skeletal muscles
have also been reported (Weiss 1980, p. 874).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Not Found
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Move victim to fresh air; call
emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material,
immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme importance.
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep
victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be
delayed; keep victim under observation (DOT 1984, Guide 55).
SECTION VI -- USE INFORMATION
Insecticide, primarily for cotton and early growth stages of vegetables
(Hawley 1981, p. 1034). Also peas, soybeans, peanut, corn, and wheat.

SECTION VII -- PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
(Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled)
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay
upwind; keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering
them. Wear boots, protective gloves, goggles, and positive pressure
breathing apparatus. Wash away any material which may have contacted the
body with copious amounts of water or soap and water (Student 1981, p.
504, DOT 1984, Guide 55). In case of land spill, dig a pit, pond, lagoon,
or holding area to contain the liquid or solid material. Cover solids
with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or firefighting water.
In case of water spill, if camphechlor is dissolved, apply activated
carbon at ten times the spilled amount in region of 10 ppm or greater
concentration. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Use
mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and
precipitates (Student 1981, p. 504).
