| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | Foam, powder, carbon dioxide. NO water. | |
| EXPLOSION | The explosion hazard will depend on the solvent used in the formulation. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water but NO direct contact with water. | |
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. | |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
| Eyes | Redness. | Safety goggles, or face shield. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Convulsions. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. | T Symbol R: 23/24/25-36/38 S: (2-)13-44 UN Hazard Class: 6.1 |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61G53b | Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs. Keep in the dark. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance YELLOW TO AMBER WAXY SOLID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin, by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Melting point: 65-90°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.65 Solubility in water: None Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: 53 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 14.3 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.3 |
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to water organisms, some terrestrial species, and birds. In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in aquatic species. |
| NOTES | Decomposes near boiling point. Camphechlor is a reaction mixture of chlorinated camphenes containing 67-69% chlorine. Use of this organochlorine pesticide should be discouraged, except where there is no adequate alternative. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Alltox, Chem-Phene, M 5055, Clor Chem T-590, Crestoxo, Estonox, Fasco-Terpene, Geniphene, Gy-phene, Hercules 3956, Melipex, Penphene, Phenacide, Phenatox, Strobane-T, Toxakil, Toxyphene, Toxon 63 are trade names. |
