Nonfire Spill Response:
Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away.  Keep material out of water sources and sewers.  Build dikes to contain flow as necessary.  Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard.  Use water spray to knock-down vapors.    Land spill:  Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material.  Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete.  Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents.  Apply "universal" gelling agent to immobilize spill.  Apply approriate foam to diminish vapor and fire hazard.    Water spill:  Use natural barriers or oil spill control booms to limit spill travel.  Use surface active agent (e.g.  detergent, soaps, alcohols), if approved by epa.  Inject "universal" gelling agent to solidify encircled spill and increase effectiveness of booms.  If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount.  Remove trapped material with suction hoses.  Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates. ( AAR, 1999)

Firefighting:
Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped.  Use water in flooding quantities as fog.  Solid streams of water may spread fire.  Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Colorless, oily liquid, moderately toxic, flammable. A storage hazard above 32 deg. C, involved in several industrial explosions caused by violent, exothermic polymerization [Bond, J., Loss Prev. Bull., 1985, (065), p. 25]. Polymerization becomes self-sustaining above 95 deg. C [MCA SD-37, 1971]. Violent polymerization leading to explosion may be initiated by peroxides (e.g., di-tert-butyl peroxide, dibenzoyl peroxide), butyllithium, initiators (e.g., azoisobutyronitrile). Reacts violently on contact with strong acids (sulfuric acid, oleum, chlorosulfonic acid), strong oxidizeres [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 1185]. Reacts with oxygen above 40 deg. C to form explosive peroxide [Barnes, C. E. et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1950, 72, p. 210]. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously (Bretherick 1979 p.151-154, 164). Mixing styrene in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, oleum, and sulfuric acid (NFPA 1991).

First Aid:
Warning: Effects may be delayed for 12 to 24 hours.  Caution is advised. Signs and Symptoms of Acute Ozone Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute exposure to ozone may be severe and include irritation and burns of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.  An increased respiratory rate, shallow breathing, cough, dyspnea (shortness of breath), bronchitis, pulmonary edema, and pulmonary hemorrhage may occur.  Tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and hypotension (low blood pressure) may be observed.  Neurologic effects include fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, exhiliration, and depression.  Nausea, vomiting, and anorexia may occur.  Eye exposure may result in conjuctivitis (red, inflamed eyes). Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to ozone may require decontamination and life support for the victims.  Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination.  Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary.  Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination. Inhalation Exposure: 1.  Move victims to fresh air.  Emergency personnel should avoid self-exposure to ozone. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected, provide CPR.  If not breathing, provide artificial respiration.  If breathing is labored, administer oxygen or other respiratory support. 3.  Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or performance of other invasive procedures. 4.  Transport to a health care facility. Dermal/Eye Exposure: 1.  Remove victims from exposure.  Emergency personnel should avoid self- exposure to ozone. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected, provide CPR.  If not breathing, provide artificial respiration.  If breathing is labored, administer oxygen or other respiratory support. 3.  Remove contaminated clothing as soon as possible. 4.  If eye exposure has occurred, eyes must be flushed with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. 5.  THOROUGHLY wash exposed skin areas with soap and water. 6.  Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or performance of other invasive procedures. 7.  Transport to a health care facility. Ingestion Exposure: No information is available. (EPA, 1998)

Nonfire Spill Response:
Isolate area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Workers handling liquid ozone should wear protective equipment designed for exposure to cryogenic liquid. (EPA, 1998)

Firefighting:
In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying water. (EPA, 1998)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Propellant; ignites upon contact with alcohols, amines, ammonia, beryllium alkyls, boranes, dicyanogen, hydrazines, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, nitroalkanes, powdered metals, silanes, or thiols (Bretherick 1979.  p.174). Aniline in a atmosphere of ozone produces a white galatinous explosive ozobenzene (Mellor 1:911. 1946-47). A mixture of ether and ozone forms aldehyde and acetic acid and a heavy liquid, ethyl peroxide, an explosive (Mellor 1:911. 1946-47). Severe explosions occur attempting to form tribromic octaoxide from bromine and ozone (Mellor 2, Supp. 1:748. 1956). Mixtures of ozone and dinitrogen pentoxide are flammable or explosive (Mellor 8, Supp. 2:276. 1967). Ozone and ethylene react explosively (Berichte 38:3837). Nitrogen dioxide and ozone react with the evolution of light, and often explode (J. Chem. Phys. 18:366 1920).  Contact of very cold liquefied gas with water may result in vigorous or violent boiling of the product and extremely rapid vaporization due to the large temperature differences involved. If the water is hot, there is the possibility that a liquid "superheat" explosion may occur. Pressures may build to dangerous levels if liquid gas contacts water in a closed container, (Handling Chemicals Safely 1980). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  All three isomers have similar properties and may react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Their reaction with nitric acid (nitration) will lead to a mixture of trinitrobenzenes possessing high-explosive properties [Urbanski, 1967, vol. 3, p. 290]. If heat and reaction conditions of the nitration are not controlled, detonation comparable to TNT may occur [Anon., J. R. Inst. Chem., 1960, 84, p. 451]. Mixture of 1,3-dinitrobenzene with tetranitromethane was found highly explosive [Urbanski, 1964, vol. 1, 592]. 1,2-dinitrobenzene is a severe explosion hazard when shocked or exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition all dinitrobenzens emit toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 1374]. (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Target Organ:
eyes, skin, blood, liver, cardiovascular system, central nervous system

Exposure Symptoms:
Anoxia, cyan; vis dist, central scotomas; bad taste, burning mouth, dry throat, thirst; yellowing hair, eyes, skin; anemia; liver damage


First Aid:
Move victim to fresh air.  Call emergency medical care.  Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.  Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.  Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.  Clothing frozen to the skin should be thawed before being removed.  Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes.  In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes.  Keep victim warm and quiet.  Keep victim under observation.  Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed.  Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. (DOT, 1996)

Nonfire Spill Response:
Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire.  Do not touch or walk through spilled material.  Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.  Stop leak if you can do it without risk.  Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift.  Do not direct water at spill or source of leak.  If possible, turn leaking containers so that gas escapes rather than liquid.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.  Isolate area until gas has dispersed.  Ventilate the area. (DOT, 1996)

Firefighting:
SMALL FIRES::  Water only; no dry chemical, CO2 or Halon.  Contain fire and let burn.  If fire must be fought, water spray or fog is recommended.  Do not get water inside containers.  Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.  Damaged cylinders should be handled only by specialists.  FIRE INVOLVING TANKS:  Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.  Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.  Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur.  Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank.  ALWAYS stay away from the ends of tanks.  For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (DOT, 1996)

Reactivity:
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS:  Reacts with water to form nitric acidCHEMICAL PROFILE:  Powdered aluminum burns in the vapor of carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur dichloride, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, or nitrogen peroxide (Mellor 5:209-212. 1946-47). Boron trichloride reacts energetically with nitrogen peroxide, phosphine, or fat and grease (Mellor 5:132. 1946-47). Nitrogen peroxide and acetic anhydride reacted to form tetranitromethane, but resulted in an explosion (Van Dolah 1967). Nitrogen peroxide forms explosive mixtures with incompletely halogenated hydrocarbons (Chem. Eng. News 42(47):53. 1964). During an experiment to produce lactic acid by oxidizing propylene with nirogen peroxide, a violent explosion occurred. These mixtures (olefins and nitrogen peroxide) form extremely unstable nitrosates or nitrosites (Comp. Rend. 116:756. 1893).Contact of very cold liquefied gas with water may result in vigorous or violent boiling of the product and extremely rapid vaporization due to the large temperature differences involved. If the water is hot, there is the possibility that a liquid "superheat" explosion may occur. Pressures may build to dangerous levels if liquid gas contacts water in a closed container (Handling Chemicals Safely 1980). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

SKIN:  IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.  If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of Breathing, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION:  Some heavy metals are VERY TOXIC POISONS, especially if their salts are very soluble in water (e.g., lead, chromium, mercury, bismuth, osmium, and arsenic).  IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center and locate activated charcoal, egg whites, or milk in case the medical advisor recommends administering one of them.  Also locate Ipecac syrup or a glass of salt water in case the medical advisor recommends inducing vomiting.  Usually, this is NOT RECOMMENDED outside of a physician's care.  If advice from a physician is not readily available and the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give the victim a glass of activated charcoal slurry in water or, if this is not available, a glass of milk, or beaten egg whites and IMMEDIATELY transport victim to a hospital.  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, assure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the Headache lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

First Aid:
EYES:  First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.  Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.  Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.  IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of Breathing, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting.  Thus, the risk of increasing the medical problems by inducing vomiting of a volatile corrosive chemical is very high.  If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the Headache lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

First Aid:
Warning: Effects, including skin reactions, may be delayed.  Caution is advised.  Vital signs should be monitored closely.  Heart palpitation may begin within minutes after exposure. Note: Acrylonitrile is very readily absorbed through the skin. Signs and Symptoms of Acrylonitrile Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute exposure to acrylonitrile may include hypertension (high blood pressure) and tachycardia (rapid heart rate), followed by hypotension (low blood pressure) and bradycardia (slow heart rate).  Cherry-red mucous membranes and blood, cardiac arrhythmias, and other cardiac abnormalities are common.  Cyanosis (blue tint to the skin and mucous membranes) is not a consistent finding.  Tachypnea (rapid respiratory rate) may be followed by respiratory depression.  Lung hemorrhage and pulmonary edema may also occur.  Headache, vertigo (dizziness), agitation, and giddiness may be followed by combative behavior, convulsions, paralysis, protruding eyeballs, dilated and unreactive pupils, and coma.  Acrylonitrile is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.  Lacrimation (tearing) and a burning sensation of the mouth and throat are common.  Excessive salivation, nausea, and vomiting may also occur. Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to acrylonitrile may require decontamination and life support for the victims.  Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination.  Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary.  Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination. Inhalation Exposure: 1.  Move victims to fresh air.  Emergency personnel should avoid self-exposure to acrylonitrile. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected, provide CPR.  If not breathing, provide artificial respiration.  IMMEDIATELY begin administering 100% oxygen to all victims.  Monitor victims for respiratory distress. Warning: To prevent self-poisoning, avoid mouth-to-mouth breathing; use a forced-oxygen mask.  Direct oral contact with acrylonitrile-contaminated persons or their gastric contents may result in self-poisoning. 3.  RUSH to a health care facility! 4.  Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or performance of other invasive procedures. Dermal/Eye Exposure: 1.  Remove victims from exposure.  Emergency personnel should avoid self-exposure to acrylonitrile. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma.

Nonfire Spill Response:
Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away.  Keep material out of water sources and sewers.  Build dikes to contain flow as necessary.  Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard.  Use water spray to disperse vapors and dilute standing pools of liquid.    Apply water spray or mist to knock down vapors.  Combustion products include corrosive or toxic vapors.    Land spill:  Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material.  Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete.  Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents.  Apply "universal" gelling agent to immobilize spill.    Water spill:  Use natural barriers or oil spill control booms to limit spill travel.  Use surface active agent (e.g.  detergent, soaps, alcohols), if approved by epa.  Inject "universal" gelling agent to solidify encircled spill and increase effectiveness of booms.  Add calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2).  If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount.  Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates. ( AAR, 1999)

Firefighting:
In advanced or massive fires, fire fighting should be done from a safe distance or a protected location. Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank car or truck is involved in fire.Small fires: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. Large fires: water spray, fog or foam. Stay away from ends of tanks. Do not get water inside container. Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire. (EPA, 1998)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  On contact with strong acids or when heated to decomposition it produces deadly hydrogen cyanide gas; it reacts violently with strong oxidizing reagents (dibenzoyl peroxide, di-tert-butylperoxide, bromine) [Sax, 9th ed., p. 61]. It rapidly ignites and forms explosive mixtures with air. In the presence of strong bases or acids it polymerizes violently. It must be stored and handled in close systems. On contact with a small amount of bromine or solid silver nitrate a runaway polymerization occurred resulting in explosion [Bretherics, 5th ed., 1995, p. 404]. (REACTIVITY, 1999)

First Aid:
Eye: If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical. Skin: If this chemical contacts the skin, flush the contaminated skin with water promptly. If this chemical penetrates the clothing, immediately remove the clothing and flush the skin with water promptly. If irritation persists after washing, get medical attention. Breathing: If a person breathes large amounts of this chemical, move the exposed  person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform mouth-to-mouth  resuscitation. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get medical  attention as soon as possible. Swallow: If this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention immediately. (NIOSH, 1997)

Nonfire Spill Response:
Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away.  Keep material out of water sources and sewers.  Build dikes to contain flow as necessary.

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Attacks plastics.  (Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 236). Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water (Merck 11th ed. 1989). Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example:  an explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid (Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73 1967; J, Org. Chem. 28:1893 1963). Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or mixed aqueous- carbon tetrachloride solutions. Chlorine plus alcohols would similarly yield alkyl hypochlorites. They decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Tertiary hypochlorites are less unstable than secondary or primary hypochlorites (NFPA 491 M 1991). Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence (Wischmeyer 1969). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN:  IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.  If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of Breathing, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION:  Some heavy metals are VERY TOXIC POISONS, especially if their salts are very soluble in water (e.g., lead, chromium, mercury, bismuth, osmium, and arsenic).  IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center and locate activated charcoal, egg whites, or milk in case the medical advisor recommends administering one of them.  Also locate Ipecac syrup or a glass of salt water in case the medical advisor recommends inducing vomiting.  Usually, this is NOT RECOMMENDED outside of a physician's care.  If advice from a physician is not readily available and the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give the victim a glass of activated charcoal slurry in water or, if this is not available, a glass of milk, or beaten egg whites and IMMEDIATELY transport victim to a hospital.  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, assure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the Headache lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:   In the presence of carbon, the combination of chlorine trifluoride with aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, silver, tin, or zinc results in a violent reaction (Mellor 2 Supp. 1 1956). Bromoazide explodes on contact with antimony, arsenic, phosphorus, silver foil or sodium. Acetylene forms an insoluble acetylide with silver (Von Schwartz 1918 p. 142 ). When silver is treated with nitric acid in the presence of ethyl alcohol, silver fulminate may be formed, which can be detonated. Ethyleneimine forms explosive compounds with siver, hence silver solder should not be used to fabricate equipment for handling ethyleneimine. Finely divided silver and strong solutions of hydrogen peroxide may explode (Mellor 1:936 1946-47). Silver is incompatible with oxalic acid and tartaric acid (Nav Aer. 09-01-505 1956).

Signs and Symptoms of Warfarin Exposure: Warfarin is an anticoagulant.  Hemorrhage is the most common sign and may be manifested by hemorrhagic skin rashes and lip, nose, and upper airway bleeding.  Upper airway pain, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) may occur.  Vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody stools are common. Back pain may be noted.  Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to warfarin may require decontamination and life support for the victims.  Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination.  Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary.  Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination. Inhalation Exposure: 1.  Move victims to fresh air.  Emergency personnel should  avoid  self-exposure to warfarin. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory  rate, and  note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected, provide CPR.  If  not breathing, provide artificial respiration.  If  breathing is labored, administer oxygen or other  respiratory support. 3.  Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from  the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or  performance of other invasive procedures. 4.  Transport to a health care facility. Dermal/Eye Exposure: 1.  Remove victims from exposure.  Emergency personnel  should  avoid self-exposure to warfarin. 2.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory  rate, and note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected,  provide CPR.  If not breathing, provide artificial  respiration.  If breathing is labored, administer  oxygen or other respiratory support. 3.  Remove contaminated clothing as soon as possible. 4.  If eye exposure has occurred, eyes must be flushed with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. 5.  Wash exposed skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. 6.  Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from  the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or  performance of other invasive procedures. 7.  Transport to a health care facility. Ingestion Exposure: 1.  Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma.  If no pulse is detected,  provide CPR.  If not breathing, provide artificial  respiration.  If breathing is labored, administer  oxygen or other respiratory support. 2. Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from  the Localized hospital for administration of an antidote or  performance of other invasive procedures. 3.  Vomiting may be induced with syrup of Ipecac. If  elapsed time since ingestion of warfarin is unknown or  suspected to be greater than 30 minutes, do not induce  vomiting and proceed to Step 4.  Ipecac should not be  administered to children under 6 months of age. Warning: Syrup of Ipecac should be administered only  if victims are alert, have an active gag-reflex, and  show no signs of impending seizure or coma.  If ANY  uncertainty exists, proceed to Step 4. The following dosages of Ipecac are recommended:  children up to 1 year old, 10 mL (1/3 oz); children 1  to 12 years old, 15 mL (1/2 oz); adults, 30 mL (1 oz).  Ambulate (walk) the victims and give large quantities  of water.  If vomiting has not occurred after 15  minutes, Ipecac may be readministered.  Continue to  ambulate and give water to the victims.  If vomiting  has not occurred within 15 minutes after second  administration of Ipecac, administer activated  charcoal. 4.  Activated charcoal may be administered if victims are  conscious and alert.  Use 15 to 30 g (1/2 to 1 oz) for  children, 50 to 100 g (1-3/4 to 3-1/2 oz) for adults,  with 125 to 250 mL (1/2 to 1 cup) of water. 5.  Promote excretion by administering a saline cathartic  or sorbitol to conscious and alert victims.  Children  require 15 to 30 g (1/2 to 1 oz) of cathartic; 50 to  100 g (1-3/4 to 3-1/2 oz) is recommended for adults. 6.  Transport to a health care facility. (EPA, 1998)

Nonfire Spill Response:
Caution :  Mixing with water may result in a violent reaction. Sources of extreme heat or ignition including sparks or fire may result in formation of toxic nitrogen oxide gases.Shut off ignition sources; no smoking or flames in hazard area. Do not touch spilled material; stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Small spills: absorb with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. Small dry spills: with clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover; move containers from spill area. Large spills: dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.  If material is not on fire and not involved in fire; keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary; attempt to stop leak if without hazard. Use water spray to knock down vapors. If material is leaking (not on fire), downwind evacuation must be considered. (EPA, 1998)

Firefighting:
If water gets below the surface of the liquid, it will turn to steam and cause frothing. Full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber gloves, boots and bands around legs, arms, and waist should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed.Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material.Water gently applied to surface or foam may cause frothing which will extinguish the fire.If material is on fire or involved in fire do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol" foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Use water spray to absorb vapor. (EPA, 1998)

Reactivity:
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS:  Reacts with water with the evolution of carbon dioxide and insoluble polyureas that are relatively nontoxic and inert (Merck 11th ed. 1989).

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water (Merck 11th ed. 1989).  Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example: An explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid (Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73 1967), J, Org. Chem. 28:1893 1963). Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or mixed aqueous-carbon tetrachloride solutions. Chlorine plus alcohols would similarly yield alkyl hypochlorites. They decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Tertiary hypochlorites are less unstable than secondary or primary hypochlorites (NFPA 491 M 1991). Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence (Wischmeyer 1969). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

First Aid:
EYES:  First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.  Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.  Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.  IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of Breathing, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and, in addition, have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems.  If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the Headache lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Transport the victim IMMEDIATELY to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Peroxidizable monomer may initiate exothermic polymerization of the bulk material (Bretherick 1979. p. 160); oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously (Bretherick 1979.  p.151-154, 164). Benzoyl peroxide was weighed into a beaker that had previously been rinsed with methyl methacrylate. The peroxide catalysed polymerization of the methyl methacrylate and the build up of heat was sufficient to ignite the remaining peroxide (MCA Case History 996. 1964). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. In case of land spill, dig a pit, pond, lagoon, or holding area to contain the liquid or solid material. Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or firefighting water. In case of water spill, if camphechlor is dissolved, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates. (EPA, 1998)

Firefighting:
Move container from fire area if this can be done without risk. Fight fire from a maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material.

EYES:  First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.  Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.  Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN:  CAUTION: Exposure of skin to compressed gases may result in freezing of the skin.  Treatment for frostbite may be necessary.  Remove the victim from the source of contamination.  IMMEDIATELY wash affected areas gently with COLD water (and soap, if necessary) while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Dry carefully with clean, soft towels.  If symptoms such as inflammation or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician or go to a hospital for treatment. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of Breathing, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION:  This compound is a gas, therefore inhalation is the first route of exposure. OTHER:  Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring.

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Light sensitive, peroxidizable monomer may initiate exothermic polymerization of the bulk material (Handling Chemicals Safely 1980.. p. 958; Bretherick 1979. p. 160); with air, it forms polymeric peroxides which are explosive (Bretherick  1979. p. 164). An unstable polyperoxide is formed in vinyl chloride through oxidation by atmospheric oxygen in the presence of any of a variety of catalysts. Storage under these conditions for long periods increases the concentration of the polyperoxides to hazardous levels (MCA Case History 1551. 1969). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Reactivity:
CHEMICAL PROFILE:  Mixing acetic acid in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: 2-Aminoethanol, chlorosulfonic acid, ethylene diamine, ethyleneimine (NFPA 1991). Acetic acid or acetic anhydride can explode with nitric acid if not kept cold. Potassium hydroxide residue in a catalyst pot reacted violently when acetic acid was added (MCA Case History 920. 1963). During the production of terephthalic acid, n-xylene is oxidized in the presence of acetic acid. During these processes, detonating mixtures may be produced. Addition of a small amount of water may largely eliminate the risk of explosion (NFPA 491M.1991.p. 7). Acetaldehyde was put in drums previously pickled with acetic acid. The acid caused the acetaldehyde to polymerize and the drums got hot and vented (MCA Case History 1764. 1971). A mixture of ammonium nitrate and acetic acid ignites when warmed, especially if concentrated  (Von Schwartz 1918. p. 322 ). Several laboratory explosions have been reported using acetic acid and phosphorus trichloride to form acetyl chloride. Poor heat control probably caused the formation of phosphine (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 60:488. 1938). (REACTIVITY, 1999)

INGESTION:  If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.  Generally, the induction of vomiting is NOT recommended outside of a physician's care due to the risk of aspirating the chemical into the victim's lungs.  However, if the victim is conscious and not convulsing and if medical help is not readily available, consider the risk of inducing vomiting because of the high toxicity of the chemical ingested.  Ipecac syrup or salt water may be used in such an emergency.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the Headache lower than the body.

First Aid:
EYES:  First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.  Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.  Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN:  CAUTION: Exposure of skin to compressed gases may result in freezing of the skin.  Treatment for frostbite may be necessary.  Remove the victim from the source of contamination.  IMMEDIATELY wash affected areas gently with COLD water (and soap, if necessary) while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.  Dry carefully with clean, soft towels.  Call a hospital or poison control center IMMEDIATELY even if no symptoms (such as inflammation or irritation) develop.  Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected area if advised to do so by a physician. INHALATION:  IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.  IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.  Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION:  This compound is a gas, therefore inhalation is the first route of exposure. OTHER:  Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring.  Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, its chemical, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure. (NTP, 1992)

Reactivity:
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS:  In contact with air, butadiene may form violently explosive peroxides, which can be exploded by mild heat or shock. Solid butadiene absorbs enough oxygen at subatmospheric pressures to make it explode violently when heated just above its melting point (Ind. Eng. Chem. 51:733 1959).CHEMICAL PROFILE:  A colorless gas, it can react with oxidizing reagents. Upon long exposure to air it forms explosive peroxides. They are sensitive to heat or shock; sudden polymerization may occur [Scott, D. A., Chem. Eng. News, 1940, 18, p.404]. Butadiene polyperoxides are insoluble in liquified butadiene (m. p. -113 C, b. p. -2.6 C) and progressively separate leading to local concentration build up. Self-heating from a spontaneous decomposition will lead to explosion [Hendry, D. G. et al., Ind. Eng. Chem., 1968, 7, p. 136, 1145]. Explodes on contact with aluminum tetrahydroborate, potentially explosive reaction with chlorine dioxide (peroxide) and crotonaldehyde (above 180 C). Reaction with sodium nitrite forms a spontaneously flammable product [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 539]. (REACTIVITY, 1999)
