Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation; Skin Contact; Eye Contact HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: ACUTE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE..... Material is a non-reactive solid. Mechanical irritation (i.e. abrasion) to the eyes may occur due to exposure to fines. Eyes may become red and scratchy and may tear. NOTE: Gases and fumes evolved during the thermal processing or decomposition of this material may irritate the eyes, skin or respiratory tract. At recommended processing conditions, the primary fume constituents evolved are water, carbon dioxide (C02), diphenyl carbonate, and monochlorobenzene.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

None known EXPOSURE LIMITS...............: For product fines, the OSHA-PEL for nuisance dust of 15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable dust is recommended. In addition, the ACGIH-TLV for Particulates Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC) of 10 mg/m3 is recommended. Observe a more stringent limit for product fines if applicable. Refer to section 2 for any other applicable exposure limits. At temperatures above decomposition (716 F (380 ¢)), phenol and other chemicals listed in the hazardous decomposition products can be generated. (See section 10) Care should be taken to observe the exposure limits and minimize exposure to these components if the product is heated to the decomposition temperature. The ACGIH-TLV and OSHA-PEL for phenol is 5 ppm-TWA
