Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation
If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.

Skin
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse.

Eyes
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention.

Ingestion
If swallowed, drink plenty of water, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention. Induce vomiting only at the instructions of a physician. Do not give anything by mouth to unconscious or convulsive person.


Note to Physicians
For ingestion, consider gastric lavage, activated charcoal slurry and catharsis.
Antidote
methylene blue, intravenous; ascorbic acid, intravenous.

Fire-fighting measures

NFPA Ratings:
Health: 2 Fire: 1 Reactivity: 3
Hazard Scale: 0 = Minimal 1 = Slight 2 = Moderate 3 = Serious 4 = Severe
Flammable Properties
Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode.

Extinguishing Media
regular dry chemical, regular foam, water

Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.

Fire Fighting Measures
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Fight large fires from a protected location or safe distance. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Dike for later disposal. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.

Accidental release measures

Water Release
Subject to California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). Keep out of water supplies and sewers.

Occupational spill/release
Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Small dry spills: Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.

Handling and storage

Storage Procedures
Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated area. Keep separated from incompatible substances.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Component Exposure Limits
P-NITROCHLOROBENZENE (100-00-5) ACGIH: 0.1 ppm TWA
Skin - potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous route
NIOSH: Potential for dermal absorption
100 mg/m3 IDLH
OSHA (US): 1 mg/m3 TWA
prevent or reduce skin absorption
Mexico: 1 mg/m3 TWA
2 mg/m3 STEL
Skin - potential for cutaneous absorption

Exposure Limits for Chemicals which may be generated during processing
This material has no components listed.

Ventilation
Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eyes/Face
Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.

Protective Clothing
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.

Glove Recommendations
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.

Respiratory Protection
The following respirators and maximum use concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA.
At any detectable concentration -
Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Escape -
Any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator equipped with an N100, R100, or P100 filter.
Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus.
For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health -
Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
