Section 3 - Hazards Identification


*EMERGENCY OVERVIEW*

Appearance: white chunks. Flash Point: 64 deg C. Flammable solid.*
Warning!* Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. May cause central nervous system effects.
*Target Organs: *Central nervous system, respiratory system, eyes, skin.


*Potential Health Effects*
*Eye:* Causes eye irritation. Camphor may be expected to be irritating
to the eye, but no serious in juries have been noted.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures



*Eyes:* In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
*Skin:* In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops
and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
*Ingestion:* If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do
so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
*Inhalation:* If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical aid.
*Notes to Physician:* Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures



*General Information:* As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and
full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable solid. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
*Extinguishing Media:* For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime
or sand. For large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime
or withdraw from area and let fire burn.
*Flash Point:* 64 deg C ( 147.20 deg F)
*Autoignition Temperature:* 466 deg C ( 870.80 deg F)
*Explosion Limits, Lower:*0.6 vol %
* Upper:* 3.5 vol %
*NFPA Rating:* (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures



*General Information:* Use proper personal protective equipment as
indicated in Section 8.
*Spills/Leaks:* Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place
into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid
generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage



*Handling:* Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing
and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can
be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind,
or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid
breathing vapor.
*Storage:* Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from
sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection



*Engineering Controls:* Use process enclosure, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels
below recommended exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this
material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
