Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
There is limited information available on the hazards of this chemical. It is assumed that it will behave similarly to other unsaturated amides.
Inhalation:
Dust inhalation of unsaturated amides may cause drowsiness, tingling sensations, fatigue, weakness, stumbling, slurred speech, and shaking. Inhalation studies with this compound has produced acute pulmonary edema in animals. Effects in humans not known.
Ingestion:
Toxic! Unsaturated amides cause systemic poisoning with symptoms including drowsiness, tingling sensations, fatigue, weakness, stumbling, slurred speech and shaking.
Skin Contact:
Unsaturated amides cause irritation and redness. Solutions may be absorbed through the skin causing systemic poisoning; symptoms may parallel ingestion.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated exposure to unsaturated amides through any route may cause muscular weakness, incoordination, skin rashes, excessive sweating of hands and feet, cold hands, and peeling of the skin.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems or central or peripheral nervous system conditions may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a physician.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire:
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Do not use high pressure water stream.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. Protect container from physical damage. Isolate from oxidizing materials. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
