=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD 50 (ORAL, RAT) = 5800 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE VAPOR
    IRRITATES SKIN. REPEATED & PROLONGED CONTACT OF THE LIQUID W/SKIN
    CAN CAUSE DRYNESS & ERYTHEMA (INFLAMMATION). EYES: ACETONE IS AN
    IRRITANT TO THE EYES & MUCOUS M EMBRANES. INHALATION: VAPOR CONC OF
    2500-3000 PPM CAUSES MINOR IRRIT OF EYES, NOSE & THROAT. INH OF
    HIGHER CONC MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, CONFUSION, DROWSINESS,
    CONVULSIONS & COMA. INGESTION OF TOXI C DOSE CAN CAUSE GASTRO
    IRRIT, NARCOSIS AND INJURY TO KIDNEYS & LIVER.  ACETONE IS NOT
    KNOWN TO PRODUCE CHRONIC OR CUMULATIVE SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:INGREDIENTS FOUND ON ONE OF THE OSHA
    DESIGNATED CARCINOGEN LISTS (NTP, IARC, OSHA): NO INGREDIENTS
    LISTED.
Effects of Overexposure:N/P.  ADVICE TO PHYSICIANS: A) TREATMENT OF
    SEVERE SYSTEMIC INTOXICATION (NARCOSIS) FROM EITHER VAPOR EXPOSURE
    OR INGESTION IS PRIMARILY SUPPORTIVE. ACETONE HAS MINIMALTOXICITY
    ON OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS  AND IF THE VICTIM CAN BE SUPPORTED THROUGH
    THE PERIOD OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION AND
    RESPIRATORYFAILURE, THE PROGNOSIS IS GOOD. (1) FOLLOWING RECENT
    INGESTION, ACETONE SHOULD BE REMOVED BU E MESIS (IF NOT PERFORMED
    BY RESCUE PERSONNEL) AND/OR GASTRIC LAVAGE. (2) MECHANICALLY
    ASSISTED VENTILATION MAY BE NECESSARY. (3) IN SEVERE CASES, AN
    INITIAL PERIOD OF HYPOGLYCEMIA MAY REQUIRE CORRECTIO N BY
    INTRAVENOUS SOLUTIONS OF (MED COND)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:N/P.  SIGNS & SYMPS (CONT): OF
    DEXTROSE. (4) IN SOME CASES, TRANSIENT HYPERGLYCEMIA - RESEMBLING
    DIABETES - HAS OCCURRED DURING THE RECOVERY PHASE AND LASTED FOR A
    FEW DAYS. TREATMENT WITH (OTHER INFO)

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:SKIN: IMMED WASH W/SOAP & WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAM CLTH.
    OBTAIN MED ATT IF ACETONE CAUSES SKIN CRACKING OR DERMATITIS. EYES:
    FLUSH W/ WATER FOR 15 MIN. GET PROMPT MED ATT. INHAL: REMOVE
    PATIENT FRO M CONTAM ATMOSPHERE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING,
    GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESP., PREFERABLY MOUTH TO MOUTH. IF BREATHING IS
    DIFF, GIVE OXYGEN PROVIDED A QUALIFIED OPERATOR IS PRES. GET PROMPT
    MED ATT. INGES TION: IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS
    ADVISED BY A PHYS-IF ADVISED & PATIENT CONSCIOUS, GIVE 2-4 GLASSES
    H2O & INDUCE VOMITING BY TOUCHING FINGER TO BACK OF THROAT. GET
    PROMPT MED ATTN. (S IGNS & SYMS OF EXPOS)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=-17.C, 1.4F
Autoignition Temp:=465.C, 869.F
Lower Limits:2.5
Upper Limits:12.8
Extinguishing Media:SM FIRE: CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEM.  LG FIRE:
    POLAR SOLV (ALCOHOL) TYPE FOAM. NORMAL FF FOAMS WILL BREAKDOWN &
    NOT EXTING ACETONE FIRES. WATER SPRAY WILL REDUCE INTENSITY OF
    FLAMES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:HANDLE AS A VERY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. USE WATER
    SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED TANKS & CONTAINERS COOL. DO NOT ENTER
    FIRE AREA WITHOUT PROPER PERSONAL PROT EQUIP INCLUDING
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.  ACETONE/WATER SOLS HAVE FLASH
    POINTS WHEN THE ACETONE CONC IS GREATER THAN 8% (BY WT). THE FIRE
    PT IS HIGHER THAN THAT.

    VAPORS FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES W/AIR. DANGEROUS WHEN EXPOSED TO
    HEAT, SPARKS, FLAME OR OXIDANTS. HANDLE AS VERY FLAMM LIQUID. USE
    H2O SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED TA NKS & CONTAINERS COOL. DO NOT
    ENTER FIRE AREA W/OUT PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIP INCL SCBA.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ALWAYS WEAR RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIP. ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION IN THE AREA OF SPILL OR
    RELEASED VAPORS. ISOLATE THE SPILL AREA. PERMIT ONLY TRAINED PERS
    WEARING FULL PERS PROT EQ UIP TO ENTER SPILL AREA. TERMINATE LEAK
    IMMED, IF POSS. COLLECT SPILL IN WASTE CONT FOR DISP. FLUSH SPILL
