Response

P302+P352 IF ON SKIN Wash with plenty of soap and water P304+P340 IF INHALED Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing P305+P351+P338 IF IN EYES Rinse cautiously with water for several minuts. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P308+P313 IF exposed or concerned Get medical advice/attention P321: Specific treatment (see section 4). P332+P313 If skin irritation occurs Get medical advice/attention P337+P313 If eye irritation persists Get medical advice/attention P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. P377 Leaking gas fire Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely P381: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.

Storage

P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P405: Store locked up. P410: Protect from sunlight.

Disposal

P501: Dispose of contents/container according to local, regional, national, and international regulations. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Contains methylene chloride which is a nonflammable liquid with a mildly sweet odor. IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: DANGER! Poison. Extremely flammable vapor. Vapors may cause flash fire and explosion. Contents under pressure. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Vapors may cause dizziness, headache, nausea, drowsiness, unconsciousness and respiratory irritation. Contains methylene chloride which is harmful if inhaled. Can also cause skin and eye irritation. Methylene Chloride is a possible cancer hazard. May cause cancer based on animal data.

Potential health effects

EYES: Can cause moderate to severe eye irritation with temporary damage possible. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact of liquid can cause irritation, defatting of skin, and dermatitis. Prolonged single exposure can result in a progressively severe burning sensation or redness. SKIN ABSORPTION: Can be absorbed through the skin but not in sufficient amounts to cause adverse effects. INGESTION: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Can cause gastrointestinal irritation with symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. INHALATION: Inhalation is the major potential route of exposure. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor or mist can cause central nervous system depression with symptoms of headache, dizziness, stupor, loss of consciousness or death depending on concentration and duration of exposure. Exposure to high concentrations can cause irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest and death. Overexposure has been shown to cause adverse effects on the lungs, liver, kidney, nervous system and internal organs. Carboxyhemoglobin levels can be elevated in persons exposed to methylene chloride and can cause a substantial stress on the cardiovascular system REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Methylene chloride has been evaluated for its potential to induce genotoxic effects in both in vivo and in vitro systems with mixed results. Based on this evidence, methylene chloride exposure may be considered to be a weak mutagen in mammalian systems. CARCINOGENICITY: Methylene chloride has caused cancer in certain laboratory animal tests. IARC has classified methylene chloride in Group 2B as a substance considered possibly carcinogenic to humans. Methylene chloride appears on the NTP carcinogen list.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye Contact, Ingestion, Inhalation, Skin Absorption, and Skin Contact TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT: Central Nervous System (CNS) CANCER STATEMENT: Methylene chloride has caused cancer in certain laboratory animal tests. IARC has classified methylene chloride in Group 2B as a substance considered possibly carcinogenic to humans. Methylene chloride appears on the NTP carcinogen list. IRRITANCY: Eyes, nose, throat, respiratory tract, and skin irritation.
