| B. FIRST
AID MEASURES |
 |
|
Speed in removing phenol is of primary
importance.
In case of contact, immediately flush
eyes and/or skin with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes while removing
contamicated clothing and shoes. Obtain
medical attention promptly.
If swalled, do not induce vomiting.
If conscious, give patient milk, milk
of magnesia or whites of eggs beaten
with water. Keep patient warm and quiet,
call a physician.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
not breathing, give artificial repiration,
preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen which is admisrered
only by trained personnel.
Obtain medical attention promptly. |

FIRE AND EXPLOSION
FLASH POINT : 79℃ □ OPEN CUP
CLOSED CUP
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE :
715℃
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR(% BY VOL.)
: LOWER : 1.7 UPPER : 8.6
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
: NONE(Note : Phenol yields flammable
vapors when heated, which can form
explosive mixtures with air.)
HEALTH
INHALATION : In animals, prolonged
inhalation of vapors(30-60ppm) has
induced recpiratory difficulties,
lung damage, loss of weight &
weight & paralysis. Breathing
of phenol vapors can cause irritation
of the mucous membranes.
INGESTION : Ingestion of phenol
causes intense burning of mouth and
throat followed by marked abdominal
pain and distress. Lethal oral doses
of phenol for adults have ranged from
1 to 10 gm. : for infants 50 to 500
mg. Cyanosis muscular weakness, and
collapse may occur within a few minutes
after ingestion. Tremors and convulsions
are occasionally observed.
Oral(Rat) LD = 414 mg/kg
Oral(Human) LD = 140 mg/kg
SKIN : Phenol is rapidly absorbed
through the skin. A serious burn or
poisoning through skin absorption
may occur if the chemical is not removed
promptly and thoroughly. If the phenol
is left on the skin, the exposed area
will burn or itch intensely which
may be folldwed by local anesthesia
and gabfrene. Absorption of phenol
through skin may cause collapse or
sudden death.
EYES : Exerts a strong corrosive
action. May cause corneal darnage
or bindness.
PERMISSIBLE CONCENTRATION
: (SEE SECTION J) AIR 5ppm(Skin) (19mg/㎥)
(NIOSH)TWA = 20mg/㎥ ; Ceiling = 60mg/㎥
/15min.
BIOLOGICAL : NOT Applicable.
UNUSUAL CHRONIC TOXICITY :
Chronic poisoning, following prolonged
exposures to low concentrations of
phenol vapors or mists, may result
in digestive disturbances, nervous
disorders and skin eruption. Contact
with phenol can cause dermatitis.
Chronic poisoning can cause damage
to the kidneys or liver and may ne
fatal. |

| D. PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES |
|
|
VENTILATION :
Except where an operation may give off
hot phenol vapor, special ventilation
is not required. Good natural ventilation
should be sufficient. Under normal conditions
the atmospheric concentration of phenol
vapormust be kept low enough to prevent
irritation of the mucous membranes and
discomfort to the workers.
Under abnormal conditions, such as leak
or spills, special emergency ventilating
equipment will be necessary.
NORMAL HANDLING :
Untrained personnel should not handle
phenol. Do not get in eyes or mouth
or on skin or clothing. Avoid breathing
vapor. Keep away from heat and flame.
Wear full protective equipment and
clothing comprising chemical goggles,
face shield, hard hat and natural
rubber or neoprene jacket, trousers,
gloves and shoes or boots. Safety
shower and eye wash fountain must
be available.
STORAGE :
Protect container against physical
damage. Cool, dry, well-ventilated
location of low fire risk outside
or detached storage is preferred.
Separate from other storage. "Empty"
containers unless thoroughly cleaned,
must be assumed to have the same hazards
as full ones.
PRECAUTIONARY LABEL : □ ATTACHED
NOT ATTACHED
D.O.T. Classification : Poison B
Allied corporation Product Label.
Danger ! Hazardous Liquid or Solid.
Rapidly absorbed through skin. May
be fatal if absorbed through skin
or swallowed. Causes severe burns.
Combustible.
D.O.T. Poison Label.
SPILL OR LEAK : Isolate the
spill area. permit only trained personnel
wearing full personal protective clothing
and equipment to enter the spill area.
Terminate the leak immediately, of
possible.
Small spills : Cover with sand
or earth or other non-combustible
absorbent.
Large spills : Dike the spill.
Allow to cool and solidify. Shovel
the solids into steel containers for
disposal.
Flush the spill area thoroughly with
water, wash contaminated equipment
throughly with water. Flushings and
wash water must be contained and prevented.
from entering a waterway. Spills of
phenol should be reported to appropriate
Federal, State and Local Environmental
Agencies, including the National Response
Center(800-424-8802). Adequat
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS
:
Apply fire extinguishing media carefully
to avoid splashing personnel with
phenol. Material extremely hazardous
to health, but areas may be entered
with extreme care. Full protective
clothing including self-contained
breathing apparatus, pants, gloves,
boots and bands around legs, arms
and waist should be provided. No skin
surface xhould be exposed. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Caution! Water containing Phenol
can also cause chemical burns to personnel.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS TO AVOID
: No standard agent.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES
:
Care should be exercised when transporting
material to prevent leaks. Vent drum
or shipping tank before heating. Do
not heat material above 60℃(140 ).
Do not allow hot phenol vapor to be
released to atmosphere. Wear full
protective clothing(see Special Fire
Fighting Precautions) when unloading. |

Less than 50 ppm : Chemical cartridge
respirator with an organic cartridge(s)
with a dust and mist filter.
Less than 100 ppm : Full face gas mask,
chin-type, with organic vapor canister
with a dust and mist filter.
Escape : Full face gas mask, chin-type
with organic vapor canister with a particulate
filter.
EYES AND FACE :
For vapor, see face mask under respiratory
