(1) THESE CHEMICALS ARE SUBJECT TO THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION
313 OF TITLE III OF THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS ARE REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF
1986 AND 40 CFR PART 372.
(2) THE LEAD IN THIS PRODUCT IS ONE OF THE SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY IF INGESTED. CALIFORNIA SAFE
DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1986
(3) LIMITS AS NUISANCE PARTICULATE
| SECTION 3: CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL DATA | |
NOT APPLICABLE TO INTACT LAMP.
| SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA | |
FLAMMABILITY: NON-COMBUSTIBLE
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:
USE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURE:
USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO PREVENT INHALATION OF DUST
AND/OR FUMES THAT MAY BE GENERATED FROM BROKEN LAMPS DURING FIREFIGHTING
ACTIVITIES.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURE, TOXIC FUMES MAY BE RELEASED FROM BROKEN
LAMPS.
| SECTION 5: REACTIVITY DATA | |
| STABILITY: LAMP IS STABLE.
| CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS
| INCOMPATIBILITY(MATERIALS TO AVOID): NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS
| HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS.
| HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION PRODUCTS: WILL NOT OCCUR.
| SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT.
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM OCCASIONAL EXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS.
AS A MATTER OF GOOD PRACTICE, AVOID PROLONGED FOR FREQUENT EXPOSURE TO
BROKEN LAMPS UNLESS THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION. THE MAJOR HAZARD FROM
BROKEN LAMPS IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SUSTAINING GLASS CUTS.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS BY INHALATION, INGESTION, OR
CONTACT (SKIN OR EYE):
BARIUM COMPOUNDS:
ALKALINE BARIUM COMPOUNDS, SUCH AS THE HYDROXIDE AND CARBONATE, MAY CAUSE
LOCAL IRRITATION TO THE EYES, NOSE, THROAT, AND SKIN.
LEAD:
INGESTION AND INHALATION OF LEAD DUST OR FUME MUST BE AVOIDED. IRRITATION
OF THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY OCCUR. EXCESSIVE LEAD ABSORPTION IS
TOXIC AND MAY INCLUDE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS ANEMIA, WEAKNESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
AND KIDNEY DISEASE. HOWEVER, THE CHEMICAL INERTNESS AND INSOLUBILITY OF
THIS MATERIAL IS EXPECTED TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR SYSTEMIC LEAD
TOXICITY.
SODIUM:
SKIN CONTACT CAN CAUSE THERMAL AND/OR ALKALI BURNS. FUMES FROM BURNING
SODIUM ARE HIGHLY IRRITATING TO SKIN, EYES AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
MERCURY:
EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPORS FOR BRIEF PERIODS CAN CAUSE ACUTE
SYMPTOMS SUCH AS PNEUMONITIS, CHEST PAINS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, COUGHING,
GINGIVITIS, SALIVATION AND POSSIBLE STOMATITIS. MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND
IRRITATION AS A RESULT OF CONTACT WITH SKIN AND/OR EYES.
GLASS:
GLASS DUST IS CONSIDERED TO BE PHYSIOLOGICALLY INERT AND AS SUCH HAS AN
OSHA EXPOSURE LIMIT OF 15 MG/CUBIC METER FOR TOTAL DUST AND 5 MG/CUBIC
METER FOR RESPIRABLE DUST.
ALUMINUM OXIDE:
ALUMINA IS A NON-TOXIC MATERIAL WHICH IS VERY LOW IN FREE SILICA CONTENT.
SHARP-EDGED PARTICLES CAN IRRITATE THE EYES, PERHAPS THE SKIN, AND
DEFINITELY THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID:
GLASS CUTS:
PERFORM NORMAL FIRST AID PROCEDURES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS REQUIRED.
INHALATION:
IF DISCOMFORT, IRRITATION OR SYMPTOMS OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT DEVELOP,
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
INHALATION:
IF DISCOMFORT, IRRITATION OR SYMPTOMS OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT DEVELOP,
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF INGESTING A LARGE QUANTITY OF MATERIAL, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
CONTACT SKIN:
THOROUGHLY WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH MILD SOAP OR DETERGENT AND WATER AND
PREVENT FURTHER CONTACT. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
CONTACT EYE:
WASH EYES, INCLUDING UNDER EYELIDS, IMMEDIATELY WITH COPIOUS AMOUNT OF
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL RFEPORT. IARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHER): NONE
| SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
IF LAMPS ARE BROKEN, VENTILATE AREA WHERE BREAKAGE OCCURRED. CLEAN-UP BY
VACUUMING OR OTHER METHOD THAT AVOIDS DUST GENERATION. TAKE USUAL
PRECAUTIONS FOR COLLECTION OF BROKEN GLASS. PLACE MATERIALS IN CLOSED
CONTAINERS TO AVOID GENERATING DUST.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WASTE GENERATOR TO ENSURE PROPER
CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE PRODUCTS. TO THAT END, TCLP TESTS SHOULD
BE CONDUCTED ON ALL WASTE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, TO DETERMINE
THE ULTIMATE DISPOSITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE
AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
| SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES | |
VENTILATION:
USE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE
LEVELS BELOW THE PEL OR TLV LIMITS. IF SUCH VENTILATION IS UNAVAILABLE,
USE RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED BELOW.
