* * * EMERGENCY OVERVIEW * * *
Flammable liquid and vapor.
Can cause rapid suffocation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation , Ingestion
ACUTE EFFECTS: Vapor or mist is irritating to the eyes, skin, mucous membrane, and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and headaches. Material acts as a simple asphyxiant by displacing air necessary for life. Symptoms include rapid respiration, muscular incoordination, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, and death. This material is narcotic in high concentrations. Ingestion results in low oral toxicity as long as aspiration, (breathing liquid into the lungs) is avoided. Symptoms of aspiration include, severe irritation, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: None known
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: None known
OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPORSURE: None
CARCINOGENICITY (US ONLY):
NTP - No
IARC MONOGRAPHS - NO
OSHA REGULATED - No
INHALATION: Immediately remove victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
SKIN CONTACT: None
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 8 to 10 oz. (240 to 300 ml.) of water to dilute material in stomach. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration to the victim.
IN EVENT OF EXPOSURE, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: None
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
FLASH POINT: -18 deg. celsius
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 275 deg. celsius
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Vol. %
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol foam. Water is ineffective in putting out a fire, but should be used for cooling fire exposed cylinders.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep fire exposed cylinders cool with water spray. If possible, stop the product flow.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Toxic carbon monoxide may be given off during combustion.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Dangerous when exposed to heat, flame or powerful oxidizers. Vapors may travel a considerable distance to the source of ignition and flash back. Cylinder rupture may occur under fire conditions. 1-Pentene will float and may reignite on surface water.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
CLEAN UP PROCEDURES: Evacuate and ventilate area. Remove all sources of ignition. Remove leaking cylinder to exhaust hood or safe outdoor area.
SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT: Absorb small spills using a solid adsorbent such as vermiculite.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING: Secure cylinder when using to protect from falling. Use suitable hand truck to move cylinders.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN STORAGE: Store in well ventilated areas. Keep valve protection cap on cylinders when not in use.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to maintain concentrations below flammable limits.
EYE / FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses
SKIN PROTECTION: None
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In case of leakage, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety shoes when handling cylinders.

| 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS |
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of non-refillable cylinders in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Allow gas to vent slowly to atmosphere in an unconfined area or exhaust hood. If the cylinders are the refillable type, return cylinders to supplier with any valve outlet plugs or caps secured and valve protection caps in place.
