Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Produces irritation,
characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and
possible corneal injury.
Skin: May cause skin
sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to
this material. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin
and dermatitis. May cause irritation with pain and stinging, especially if the
skin is abraded.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal
irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May
cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed
by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness,
unconsciousness and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of
vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated
exposure may cause adverse reproductive effects. May cause kidney injury. May
cause cancer according to animal studies. May cause allergic skin reaction in
some individuals.

Section 4 - First Aid
Measures |
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical aid immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious
and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from
exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
and supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire
Fighting Measures |
General
Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective
gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire. This chemical poses an explosion hazard. May form explosive peroxides.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in
low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: For small
fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. For
large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight
streams of water. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.
Flash Point: 55e deg F ( 12.78 deg C)
Autoignition Temperature: 750 deg F ( 398.89 deg C)

Section 6 -
Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material
(e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Avoid
runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills
immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Scoop up
with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for disposal.
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling
and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands
before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away
from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep from
contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
|
Section 8 - Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering
Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
airborne levels. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be
equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits.

Epidemiology: The NTP reported that there was clear
evidence of carcinogen ic activity in male rats based on the markedly incre ased
incidences of benign pheochromocytoma of the adrenal medulla and others. There
was clear evidence in mice based o n the increased incidences of histiocytic
sarcoma and malignant lymphoma of thymic origin. There was also clear evidence
in female mice based on the increased incidences of histiocytic sarcoma,
malignant lymphomas, and benign sex-cord stromal tumors of the ovary.

mg/L;Flow-through condition.
Environmental: Cas# 67-63-0: TERRESTRIAL
FATE: When spilled on soil, isopropanol will both evaporate quickly and leach
into the ground due to its high vapor pressure and low adsorption to soil.
Degradation in soil and groundwater has not been determined. If soil degradation
is not rapid, it is apt to leach into the groundwater. AQUATIC FATE: When
released into water, isopropyl alcohol will volatilize (estimated half-life
approximately 5.4 days) and may biodegrade. Although it is readily degradable in
a number of laboratory tests, no data on its degradability in natural waters.
Physical: Cas# 67-63-0: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: When released into the
atmosphere, isopropanol will photodegrade with an estimated half-life ranging
from one to several days. Due to its solubility in water, rainout may be
significant.
Other: No information available.
