EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white chunks. Flash Point: 64 deg C.
Warning! Flammable solid. Causes eye, skin, and
respiratory tract irritation. May cause central nervous system
effects.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Camphor may be expected to be irritating to the eye, but no serious
injuries have been noted.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Camphor may cause loss of the sense of smell. Heavy exposures to
camphor are reported to cause nausea, anxiety, dizziness, confusion,
headache, twitching of facial muscles, spasticity, and with severe
poisoning, convulsions and coma.
Chronic:
No information found.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable solid. Vapors
are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or sand. For large
fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or withdraw from
area and let fire burn.
Flash Point: 64 deg C ( 147.20 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 466 deg C ( 870.80 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.6 vol %
Upper: 3.5 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof
tool. Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. Avoid breathing vapor.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
