1-[3-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethanone

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If breathing is feeble or ceases, give

artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eyes throughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Thoroughly wash exposed area

with soap and water. Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Give copious amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting.

Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, dry chemical or foam mist.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg. carbon and nitrogen

oxides).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg.

sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with soap and water. Avoid washing

to drain.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid the formation of dust.  Engineering controls are

necessary to reduce exposure to the substance.

The substance must be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn.

Such protective equipment must conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard prEN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry well ventilated area at an ambient

temperature. Dry material is usually stored in double

polythene-lined fibreboard kegs.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 50kg packs in double-polyethylene-lined fibreboard drums.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant fire or explosion hazard. However,

like most organic compounds it is combustible and may form a

dust explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is a

severe eye irritant and is harmful by acute oral exposure .

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous health properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by

incineration at an authorised site in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects  on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.
