<br /> <br />Memo to Erica Crosbv. File No. M-90-57 4 October 18, 2001 <br />Skin Contact: <br />Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. <br />Eye Contact: <br />Irritant, can cause pain and redness, possible mechanical harm. May cause severe irritation. <br />Chronic Exposure: <br />Chronic exposure may cause fatigue, slow tendon reflexes, intestinal inflammation (with bleeding), <br />diarrhea, blood effects, central nervous system depression, tremors and paralysis of [he extremities. <br />Repeated skin or eye contact can cause skin and eye effects. <br />Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: <br />Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the <br />effects of the substance. <br />Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol <br />Health Hazards: Alcohols may be moderately to severely irritating [o [he eyes. Prolonged or repeated skin <br />contact with alcohols can result in defatting or drying of the skin with resulting irritation and dermatitis. <br />Prolonged breathing of high alcohol vapor concentrations may cause dizziness, light-headedness, headache, <br />nausea and loss of coordination (central nervous system depression). Alcohols may be toxic if swallowed, <br />producing central nervous system depression. <br />Fire/explosion/Reactivity Hazards: CAUTION! COMBUSTIBLE. These products may be ignited by <br />heat, sparks, open flames or contact with strong oxidizing agents. Vapors may accumulate and travel to <br />ignition sources distant from the handling site resulting in a flash fire. Contact with metallic aluminum at <br />temperatures over 120 °F may cause a vigorous reaction. <br />EMERGENCY ACTION GUIDE <br />[F...FIRE <br />THEN...Use water fog, "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or COQ to extinguish flames. Cool fire <br />exposed containers with water spray. <br />IF...SPILL OR LEAK <br />THEN...Eliminate ignition sources. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Shut off leak <br />if safe to do so. If vapor cloud forms, use water fog to suppress or blanket spill with "alcohol" <br />foam. Dike and contain spill. Monitor area with a combustible gas indicator. Remove with vacuum <br />truck or pump to storage/recovery vessel. Soak up residue with suitable adsorbent material such as <br />clay or sand. Flush area with water [o remove trace residue. Contain run-off from water fog and <br />residue flush and dispose of properly. <br />
