         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.
    Extinguishing Media:
         Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray,
dry
         chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

               **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

         Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP, or OSHA.
    Epidemiology:
         No information available.

         appendage tumors).
    Other Studies:
         No data available.

                 **** SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ****

    Ecotoxicity:
         9-Fluorenone exists in both the vapor and particulate phases in
the
         ambient atmosphere and will be degraded by reaction with
         photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. Estimated Koc value =
         2300. This value indicates that this product is expected to adsorb
         to sediments and suspended matter in water and will show only
slight
         mobility in soil. Estimated BCF value = 310. This value suggests
         that bioconcentration in the aquatic environment and organisms
will
         be an important fate process.

                **** SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS ****

Dispose of in a manner consistent with federal, state, and local
regulations.
