TLV for nuisance particulates, 10mg/m3 of total dust.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush eye with plenty of water, lifting lids periodically for at least 15
minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
Inhalation: Remove form dusty area to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: Immediately contact a physician.
SECTION VII – PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Common
housekeeping, vacuum or scoop material into a container for reclamation or
disposal.
Waste Disposal Method: Material that cannot be reclaimed should be landfilled
in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Store in dry area. Material
should be kept dry. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions: None
SECTION VIII – CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved dust respirator when required for dust.
Ventilation: Observe EPA standards
Protective Gloves: For Sensitive Skin
Protective Glasses: Safety goggles or face shield to protect against accidental
splashes
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Safety showers and eye wash stations
should be available.
Work/Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating,
smoking or using washroom. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before
re-use

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action.
SKIN: Mechanical injury only. Essentially nonirritating to skin. Skin absorption is unlikely due to
physical properties.
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely due to physical state. Physical injury only. May cause choking if
swallowed.
INHALATION: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Excessive exposure to high
concentrations of the ethyl chloride,

and chlorodifluoroethane blowing agents may cause central nervous system depression, anesthetic effects
and irregular heartbeats (cardiac sensitization). In animals, excessive exposure to chlorodifluoroethane has
caused low blood pressure, respiratory stimulation and tightness in the chest (bronchoconstriction).
Concentrations of the above blowing agents anticipated incidental to proper handling are expected to be
well below those which cause the acute inhalation effects listed above, as well as below the OSHA PEL and
Dow Industrial Hygiene Guide.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated exposures to dusts of this material are not
anticipated to result in systemic toxicity or permanent lung injury; however, excessive exposures may cause
less severe respiratory effects.
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) may increase tissue levels of bromine.
CANCER INFORMATION: Neither polystyrene foam dust, nor chlorodifluoroethane caused cancer in
long-term animal studies. Uterine tumors seen,in female mice given high doses of ethyl chloride for their
lifetimes are believed to be unique to-female mice. Such tumors did not occur in rats similarly exposed.
These results are not believed to be relevant to humans.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): No birth defects were seen in animal studies with ethyl chloride or
chlorodifluoroethane.
4. FIRST AID
EYE: Flush eyes with plenty of water; mechanical effects only.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper industrial
handling.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to
a medical facility.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Exposure may increase "myocardial irritability". Do not administer
sympathomimetic drugs
