      This chemical decomposes in the presence of chemically active metals
 [102,346,395].  This includes aluminum, magnesium and their alloys [036,066,
 269,421].  It will react violently with dinitrogen tetraoxide, oxygen, liquid
 oxygen, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys [043,051,066,451].  It will also
 react violently with acetone, zinc and nitrates [269].  It can react with
 sodium hydroxide [043,051,451].  It is incompatible with strong oxidizers and
 strong bases [058,102,269,346].  Mixtures with potassium or its alloys are
 shock-sensitive and may explode on light impact [036,066].  This chemical can
 react with an aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide, and with chlorine in
 sunlight [395].  It will attack some forms of plastics, rubber and coatings
 [102].  Upon contact with hot metal or on exposure to ultraviolet radiation,
 it will decompose to form irritant gases [346].  A cobalt/molybdenum-alumina
 catalyst will generate a substantial exotherm on contact with its vapor at
 ambient temperatures [066].  Hazardous reactions also occur with (aluminum
 oxide + heavy metals) [043].

*RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR:
      When working with this chemical, wear a NIOSH-approved full face
 chemical cartride respirator equipped with the appropriate organic vapor
 cartridges.  If that is not available, a half face respirator similarly
 equipped plus airtight goggles can be substituted.  However, please note
 that half face respirators provide a substantially lower level of protection
 than do full face respirators.

*OTHER: Not available

*STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
      You should protect this chemical from exposure to light.  Keep
 the container tightly closed under an inert atmosphere, and store
 under refrigerated temperatures.

*SPILLS AND LEAKAGE:
      If you spill this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION.  Then,
 use absorbent paper to pick up all liquid spill material.  Your contaminated
 clothing and absorbent paper should be sealed in a vapor-tight plastic bag for
 eventual disposal.  Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol
 followed by washing with a soap and water solution.  Do not reenter the
 contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has
 verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

*DISPOSAL AND WASTE TREATMENT: Not available


-EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
 ====================

*SKIN CONTACT:
      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 breath, 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 Respirator Recommendation.

*EYE CONTACT:
      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.

*INGESTION:
      DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Volatile chemicals 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 head lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  IMMEDIATELY transport
 the victim to a hospital.

*SYMPTOMS:
      Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the
 eyes, dizziness, incoordination, unconsciousness and death [102,346,371].
 Irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract may occur [269].
 Fainting may also occur [295].  Other symptoms may include decreased reaction
 time, impaired manual dexterity, ataxia, lightheadedness, positive Romberg
 test, diarrhea, respiratory arrest and nausea [151].  It causes a proarrhyth-
 mic activity which sensitizes the heart to epinephrine, resulting in cardiac
 arrhythmias [043,151,301,406].  This sometimes will cause cardiac arrest,
 particularly when massive amounts are inhaled [043,051,151].  Inhalation
 can cause euphoria [043,051,151].  High concentrations may cause narcosis
 [031,036,058,406].  Exposure can cause headache, drowsiness, burning sensa-
 tion on the eyes and skin, irritation  of the throat, cardiac sensitization,
 aspiration of vomitus during anesthesia, blood pressure depression, chemical
 pneumonitis and pulmonary edema with hemorrhage [058].  It can also cause
 anesthesia, cardiac fibrillations, slight reddening of the skin, central
 nervous system impairment, helplessness, loss in equilibrium and mild eye
 and nasal discomfort [430].  Other symptoms are hallucinations, distorted
 perceptions, motor activity changes, irritability, aggression, hypermotility
 and other gastrointestinal changes [043].  Impaired judgement has been re-
 ported [451].  Increased reaction time has also been reported [346].  Repeated
 skin contact may result in a dry, scaly and fissured dermatitis due to its
 defatting properties [346,371,421].  Prolonged skin contact may result in
 considerable pain and irritation [430].  Other symptoms may include difficult
 breathing, asphyxiation, slight lacrimation and slight smarting of the eyes
 and respiratory system [371].  It may cause impaired psychophysiological func-
 tions [051,395].  It may also cause irregular heart beat, lassitude and coma
 [102].  High concentrations cause central nervous system depression [051,151,
 301,346].  Hemorrhage in the brain may also result from exposure to high con-
 centrations [301].  Eye contact may lead to superficial and transient injury
 to the eyes [058,099].  It may also lead to mild conjunctivitis [346].  Chronic
 exposure may result in liver and kidney damage [051,151,269,295].  Exposure to
 and/or consumption of alcohol may increase its toxic effects [151,269].
