First aid measures
Inhalation：Remove the victim to fresh air, and make him blow his noseand gargle.

Skin contact：Wash the affected areas under running water.

Eye contact：Wash the affected areas under running water for at least 15minutes. If necessary, get medical treatment.

Ingestion：Give the victim water or salt water and make him vomit. Get
medical attention.

Protection for first aid person－ 2/9 －

No. DEFC0515

AQUALYTE Water Standard 10：Savers wear proper protective equipment like rubber gloves,goggles.

5.

Fire fighting measures
Extinguishing media：Water, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, dry sand

Prohibited extinguishing media：None
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. Conduct operations from upwind andevacuate people downwind. Shut off all sources of ignition.
Keep away personnel except for authorized ones from spillage
area by stretching ropes.
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 theenvironment by untreated wastewater.
Methods and Equipment for Containment and Cleaning up
For containment：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.

Cautions of handling and storage
Handling
Engineering measures－ 3/9 －No. DEFC0515

AQUALYTE Water Standard 10：Wear proper equipment not to contact with skin or inhale thevapor. Fire is strictly prohibited.
Ventilate well at working places.
Cautions for safety handling：Use with an enclosed system or a local exhaust ventilation.
Cautions：Do not contact with oxidizing substances.

Storage
Adequate storage condition：Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place because
the substance has hygroscopic property.
Safety adequate container materials：Glass, fluorine resin, stainless steel
Do not use polyvinyl chloride resin, polystyrene.

Acute toxicity (oral) ：No classification
rat LD50=4760mg/kg
Acute toxicity (dermal)：Classification not possible
Acute toxicity (inhalation)：Classification not possible (vapor)
No classification (dust, mist)
rat LC50=24mg/L/4H(as mist)
Skin corrosion/irritation－ 5/9 －

No. DEFC0515

AQUALYTE Water Standard 10：No classification
Based on the data that mild irritation had been observed for
24 hours when applied 0.5mL to rabbit skin and no irritation
was observed at the test using other rabbits, the substancewas decided to have minor irritation, it was classified as noclassification.
Serious eye damage/irritation：Causes eye irritation
Based on the data that mild irritation had been observed for
24 hours when applied 0.1mL to rabbit eyes and no irritation
was observed at the test using other rabbits, the substancewas decided to have mild irritation, it was classified as
category 2B.
Respiratory sensitization：Classification not possible
Skin sensitization：No classification
Based on the result of no sensitization by Buehler test andAlternative footpad method using guinea pigs, it was classified
as no classification.

Germ cell mutagenicity：Classification not possible
Negative results in in vivo mutagenicity test using somatic cells(chromosome aberration test using rat bone marrow cells), andnegative result in in vitro mutagenicity test (several Amestests).
Carcinogenicity：Classification not possible

Reproductive toxicity ：Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child
Decrease in fertility was observed in reproduction test byinhalation exposure of male rats, and rate of deformation ofoffspring was low, but increase in resorption of fetuses wasobserved at developmental toxicity test by inhalation exposure(100% at 400ppm) in organogenesis period of rats. Deformationof fingers and legs of offspring, exencephaly, malformation ofbones were observed at the dose causing death of parent
animals in developmental toxicity test by oral administration inorganogene
Deformation of fingers and legs of offspring, exencephaly,
malformation of bones were observed at the dose causing
death of parent animals in developmental toxicity test by oral

No. DEFC0515

AQUALYTE Water Standard 10administration in organogenesis period of mice, moreover
resorption of fetuses and deformation of bones were observedat the dose causing toxicity of parent animals in reproduction
test using rabbits. From the above results, it was classified
into category 2.
Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure)：Classification not possible
Although irregular respiration was observed by inhalation
exposure (10mg/L/7H) with rats, there were no other data,
so it was not possible to classify.
Specific target organ toxicity (repeated exposure)：Classification not possible
The change of bone marrow, pancreas, thymus gland, leucocyte,
and erythrocyte was observed at the concentration of
61.4mg/L (90 days corresponding value:9.6mg/L/6H) which
exceeded guidance value of category 2 at 2- week inhalation
exposure test using male and female rats (0.614, 2.06,61.4mg/L/6H).
Atrophied thymus gland and congested adrenal gland wereobserved at the concentration of 3.35mg/L which wasequivalent to guidance value of category 2 at 3-weekinhalation exposure test (1.12, 3.35mg/L/6H), but these
degrees were unknown, it was not possible to classify.
Aspiration hazard：Classification not possible.
