Particular fire fighting：Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk,
if not possible, apply water from a safe distance to cool andprotect surrounding area.
Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide or dry sand should be
used for small fires. Foam extinguisher is effective for a large
scale fire.
Protection for firefighters：Wear breathing apparatus.

6.

Accidental release measures
Cautions for personnel：Wear proper equipment and avoid contact with skin andinhalation of vapor. Keep personnel removed from and upwindof fire. Shut off all sources of ignition. Keep away personnel
except for authorized ones from spillage area by stretchingropes.
Cautions for environment：Attention should be given not to cause damage to theenvironment by flowing of spillage to rivers. In case of thedilution of copious water, do not cause damage to the－ 4/10 －No. DEFC0508

environment by untreated wastewater.
Removal measure：Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., diatomaceous earth, sand)and flush residual area with copious amounts of water.

Prevention of second accident：Remove nearby sources of ignition and prepare extinguishingmedia.

7.

Cautions of handling and storage
Handling
Engineering measures：Wear proper equipment not to contact with skin or inhale thevapor. Fire is strictly prohibited.
Ventilate well at working places.

rat oral LD50=315mg/kg
rat skin LD50=3333mg/kg
rat inhalation LC50=35ppm/4H(vapor)
Skin corrosiveness：Causes severe skin burns and eye damage(category 1C)
Since imidazole causes corrosivity to the skin, it was classified
into category 1C.

Irritation to skin, eyes
：Causes serious eye damage (category 1)
Since the solution causes severe irritation to the eyes, it wasclassified into category 1.
Respiratory sensitization or Skin sensitization：Respiratory sensitization : Not possible to classify because ofinsufficient data.
May cause an allergic skin reaction (category 1)
Iodine is listed in the 2nd skin group of the sensitization
substance of Recommendation of Acceptable Concentration ofJapanese Society for Occupational Health.
Mutagenicity：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.

Carcinogenic effects ：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data
Effects on the reproductive system：Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child(category 2)
Since 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol may cause reproductive anddevelopmental toxicity, the classification is set to category 2.
Specific target organ systemic toxicity single exposure：May cause damage to organs (respiratory organs, nervoussystem)(category 2)
It is unlikely that the product generates sulfur dioxide. Basedon the evidence that in the inhalation exposure test of sulfur
dioxide using guinea pigs dogs, rabbits, and rats, airway
mucosa irritation, increased airway resistance and respiratory
ciliary loss are seen by the concentration of the guidance valueof category 1, and that decreased respiratory function, such as
an increase in airway resistance was seen also in the inhalation－ 7/10 －No. DEFC0508

exposure test in humans. the classification is set to category 1(respiratory organs).
And since imidazole may cause nervous effect, it was classified
into category 2(nervous system).
Thus, the product was classified into category 2 (respiratoryorgans, nervous system), taking into account the concentrationsof sulfur dioxide and imidazole.
Specific target organ systemic toxicity repeated exposure：Cause damage to organs (thyroid gland) through prolonged orrepeated exposure(category 1)
May cause damage to organs (respiratory organs) throughprolonged or repeated exposure(category 2)
It is unlikely that the product generates sulfur dioxide. Basedon the evidence that in the inhalation exposure test of sulfur
dioxide using rats, and guinea pigs, pneumonia and bronchitis
were observed with the concentration in category 1 guidancevalue range, it was classified into category 1(respiratoryorgans). And based on the description that iodine may cause
thyroid disease (hypothyroidism, hyperfunction, or thyroiditis) iscaused by ingestion in human, the classification is set tocategory 1 (thyroid gland). Thus, the product was classified
into category 1 (thyroid gland) and category 2 (respiratoryorgans), taking into account the concentrations of sulfur dioxideand iodine.
Aspiration hazard：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.
