SECTION 2: Hazards identification

SYMPTOMS MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATELY APPARENT, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED. ISOLATE FROM HEAT, SPARKS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPEN FLAME. AVOID BREATHING GASES, VAPORS, FUMES OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS DURING A FIRE, PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN A FIRE SHOULD WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING SELF-CONTAINED RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT. WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO COOL UNRUPTURED CLOSED CONTAINERS TO PREVENT PRESSURE BUILDUP AND POSSIBLE AUTOIGNITION OR EXPLOSION WHEN EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT, IF WATER IS USED, NOZZLES ARE PREFERABLE. FOG SECTION V

Acute Health Hazards

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: SEE SECTION II INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: INHALATION OF VAPORS OR SPRAY MISTS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT OR ACUTE NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION CHARACTERIZED BY HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, STAGGERING GAIT, CONFUSION, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR COMA. OVEREXPOSURE TO VAPORS OR SPRAY MISTS CAN CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: EYE CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY BE SEVERELY IRRITATING AND MAY CAUSE CORNEAL DAMAGE IF THE EYE IS NOT FLUSHED ouT IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER, SKIN CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMTOMS OF EXPOSURE: BRIEF CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY CAUSE SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITATION AND POSSIBLY DRYING OF THE SKIN. REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING AND DEFATTING OF THE SKIN, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DERMATITIS, INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. SWALLOWING MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA, DIARRHEA, VOMITING AND POSSIBLY NARCOSIS. ASPIRATION OF MATERIAL INTO THE LUNGS CAN CAUSE PNEUMONITIS, WHICH CAN BE FATAL. INGESTION MAY CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE.

Health hazards

REPEATED OR PROLONGED OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO VAPORS FROM SOLVENT(S) CONTAINED IN THIS PRODUCT MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LUNG DAMAGE, AND MAY CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY SHEET Page: DAMAGE, NOTE: A CASE EFFECT SHOWED ACTIVE LIVER & KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION AT EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF EXPOSURE TO XYLENE AND TOLUENE, NOTE: REPORTS HAVE ASSOCIATED REPEATED AND PROLONGED OCCUPATIONAL OVEREXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS WITH PERMANENT BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE, INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING AND INHALING IS BASED UPON THIRD-PARTY RESEARCH STUDIES. EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: INHALATION: INHALATION OF DUST OR MIST CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES, NOSE, THROAT, AND LUNGS EYE CONTACT: LIKE ANY FOREIGN BODY, PARTICLES CAN CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION. SKIN CONTACT: THIS MATERIAL CAN CAUSE IRRITATION IF NOT PROMPTLY WASHED FROM SKIN. SKIN ABSORBTION:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE ABSORBED THROUGH INTACT SKIN. INGESTION: THIS MATERIAL IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ADVERSE EFFECTS. ACUTE TOXICITY: TITANIUM DIOXIDE ORAL: LD50 >10,000 MG/KG (RAT) DERMAL: LD50 =4>10,000 MG/KG (RABBIT) INHALATION: LC50 (4HR) >6.8 MG/L (RAT) IN LIFETIME INHALATION STUDIES OF RATS, AIRBORNE RESPIRABLE-SIZE TITANIUM DIOXIDE PARTICLES HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE AN INCREASE IN LUNG TUMORS AT CONCENTRATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANTIAL PARTICLE LUNG BURDENS AND CONSEQUENTIAL PULMONARY OVERLOAD AND INFLAMMATION. THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS APPEARS TO BE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE PARTICLE SIZE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE EXPOSED SURFACE AREA THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE LUNG. HOWEVER, TESTS WITH OTHER LABORATORY ANIMALS, SUCH AS MICE AND HAMSTERS, INDICATE THAT RATS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE PULMONARY OVERLOAD AND INFLAMMATION THAT CAUSES LUNG CANCER. EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES DO NOT SUGGEST AN INCREASED RISK OF CANCER IN HUMANS FROM OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO TITANIUM DIOXIDE. TITANIUM DIOXIDE HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY IARC AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B) THROUGH INHALATION (NOT INGESTION). IT HAS NOT BEEN CHARACTERIZED AS A POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN BY EITHER NTP

MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL. CARCINOGENICITY: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ETHYLBENZENE AND/OR NAPHTHALENE, CLASSIFIED BY IARC AS A GROUP 2B CARCINOGEN - POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. THERE IS INADEQUATE EVIDENCE IN HUMANS BUT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF ETHYLBENZENE AND/OR NAPHTHALENE. THIS MATERIAL CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING
