          breathing apparatus.
 
 

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:  Small spills: Cover with
          absorbent material, soak up and sweep into a drum.  Large
          spills:  Dike around spill and pump into suitable containers.

DISPOSAL METHOD:  Reprocess or incinerate in accordance with all
          local, state, and federal requirements.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


EXPOSURE GUIDELINE:  OSHA PEL is 10 mg/m3 total, 5 mg/m3
          respirable; ACGIH TLV is 10 mg/m3 for glycerine mist.
                                                                               
VENTILATION:  Control airborne concentrations below the
          exposure guideline.  Good general ventilation should be
          sufficient for most conditions.  Local exhaust ventilation
          may be necessary for some operations.
                                                                               
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:  Atmospheric levels should be maintained
          below the exposure guideline.  When respiratory protection is
          required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying
          respirator.
                                                                               
SKIN PROTECTION:  No precautions other than clean body-covering
          clothing should be needed.
                                                                               
EYE PROTECTION:  Use safety glasses.
 

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
          Practice reasonable care and caution.
                                                                               
MSDS STATUS:  Revised section 9 and regsheet.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE:  May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation.
          Corneal injury is unlikely.
                                                                               
SKIN CONTACT:  Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to
          cause significant skin irritation.
                                                                               
SKIN ABSORPTION:  A single prolonged exposure is not likely to
          result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
          amounts.  The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is
          > 10,000 mg/kg.
                                                                               
INGESTION:  Single dose oral toxicity is low.  The oral LD50
          for rats is 17,000 to 27,200 mg/kg.  Signs and symptoms of
          excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects
          and increased blood sugar levels.
                                                                               
INHALATION:  At room temperature, exposures to vapors are
          unlikely due to physical properties; higher temperatures
          may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause irritation and
          other effects.  No effects in rats were seen at 0.57 mg/l
          for 1 hour; therefore the LC50 is greater than this amount.
 

SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS:  Repeated excessive exposure may cause
          kidney and liver effects, and increased fat levels in blood.
          Observations in animals include gastrointestinal irritation
          with very large oral doses.  Did not cause cancer in long-
          term animal studies.  Birth defects are unlikely.  Exposures
          having no adverse effects on the mother should have no effect
          on the fetus.  Reproduction studies indicate that glycerine
          does not directly interfere with reproduction in animals.
          When animals were maintained on synthetic diets or dosed at
          extremely high levels, reproduction in females was affected -
          perhaps due to altered nutritional states.
