| SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT (SMOKE) | |
GENERAL:
SUPERIOR(R*) SMOKE CAN BE USED WITHOUT HAZARD IF APPLIED AS DIRECTED. THE
MAIN EFFECTS OF THE SMOKE ARE SOME MINIMAL IRRITATION OF THE THROAT, AN
AWARENESS OF AN ODD ODOR, AND THE APPEARANCE OF SMOKE. THESE EFFECTS ACT
AS A WARNING AND ARE DESIRABLE TO PREVENT VOLUNTARY OVEREXPOSURE.
INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE URGED NOT TO ACCEPT EXPOSURES THAT CAUSE MINOR
IRRITATION, BUT TO LEAVE THE AREA AND VENTILATE WELL TO DISSIPATE THE
SMOKE.
INGESTION: NOT A SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF EXPOSURE.
EYE CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE IS NOT LIKELY TO INDUCE EYE IRRITATION.
SKIN ABSORPTION: NOT A SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF EXPOSURE.
INHALATION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT AND MUCOUS
MEMBRANES. IN ITSELF IRRITATION IS NOT USUALLY REGARDED AS A TOXIC EFFECT
UNLESS IT IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE INFLAMMATION AND THEN INFLAMMATION, NOT
IRRITATION, IS THE TOXIC EFFECT.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY PASSAGES; COUGH; NAUSEA. GROSS OVEREXPOSURE
TO DENSE SMOKE CONCENTRATIONS FOR PERIODS OF TEN MINUTES OR MORE COULD
RESULT IN THROAT IRRITATION AND MUCOUS MEMBRANE CONGESTION REQUIRING
MEDICAL TREATMENT. COUGHS, CHILLS, FEVER AND PULMONARY EDEMA CAN RESULT
FROM OVERWHELMING EXPOSURE. INCREASINGLY SEVERE OVEREXPOSURE IS LIKELY TO
RESULT IN INCREASINGLY SEVERE IRRITATION AND INFLAMMATION TO ALL MUCOUS
MEMBRANES CONTACTED BY THE SMOKE WITH MOST SEVERE EFFECTS USUALLY
APPEARING IN THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
| SECTION 7: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES | |
REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
| SECTION 8: TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES (SMOKE) | |
CARCINOGEN LISTED BY:
IARC (NO)
NTP (NO)
OSHA (NO)
OTHER (NO)
| SECTION 9: DISPOSAL METHOD | |
(SMOKE):
VENTILATE AREA:
USE LOCAL EXHAUST TO KEEP EXPOSURE TO A MINIMUM. THE DURATION OF SMOKE
WOULD BE SHORT AND THE LENGTH OF EXPOSURE COULD BE REDUCED FURTHER BY
OPENING DOORS AND WINDOWS FOR A FEW MINUTES, IF AND WHEN THE SMOKE
APPEARS.
(SOLID PRODUCT):
DISPOSAL METHOD:
DISPOSE IN CHEMICAL DISPOSAL AREA IN A MANNER THAT COMPLIES WITH LOCAL,
STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
THE INFORMATION HEREIN IS GIVEN IN GOOD FAITH, BUT NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, IS MADE.
