_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water (100-105 °F, 38-41
°C). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes, forcibly holding
eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissues. Washing eyes within several seconds is essential
to achieve maximum effectiveness. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

INGESTION: Not a likely route of exposure in occupational environment.

Most Important Symptoms/Effects (Acute and Delayed) :.

Acute Symptoms/Effects: Listed below. Prolonged, high concentration exposures may cause unconsciousness
or death.
Inhalation (Breathing): Respiratory Tract Irritation: rhinitis, scratchy throat, cough, sore throat, runny nose,
wheezing, difficulty breathing (dyspnea). Inhalation of this material may cause central nervous system depression
(narcotic effects).
Skin: Skin Irritation. If spilled on skin, rapid evaporation can cause local frostbite with redness, blistering, and
scaling.
Eye: Eye Irritation. Rapid evaporation can cause local frostbite with corneal and conjunctival irritation or burns.
High concentrations of vapor can cause eye irritation.
Ingestion (Swallowing): Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure.
Other Health Effects: Narcotic Effects (Central Nervous System Depression): Ataxia or dizziness, drowsiness or
fatigue, loss of consciousness, headache, euphoria and irritability, visual or hearing disturbances, nausea,
memory loss.

Delayed Symptoms/Effects:
- Carcinogen: Long term significant occupational overexposure to VCM has been associated with a specific cancer
(angiosarcoma of the liver) and is associated with hepatocellular cancer
- Suspected mutagen and suspected of causing reproductive damage
- Repeated exposure can damage the skin (scleroderma), bones (acro-osteolysis) and blood vessels in the hand
(Raynaud's Syndrome)
- Scleroderma is characterized by a hardening and tightening of patches of skin
- Raynaud's syndrome is characterized by an exaggerated response to cold temperatures or emotional distress,
which can cause numbness, pain or color changes in the fingers or toes

Interaction with Other Chemicals Which Enhance Toxicity: Alcohol may enhance toxic effects.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Alcoholic Liver Disease. Infectious Hepatitis. Cirrhosis.

Protection of First-Aiders: Protect yourself by avoiding contact with this material. Direct contact with liquid may
cause frostbite to exposed tissue (eyes, skin, etc.). Use personal protective equipment. Refer to Section 8 for specific
personal protective equipment recommendations. At minimum, treating personnel should utilize PPE sufficient for
prevention of bloodborne pathogen transmission.

Notes to Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treat symptoms with supportive care. Cardiac stimulants such as
epinephrine should be avoided in persons overexposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Fire Hazard: Severe fire hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant sources and
flash back. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat.

Extinguishing Media: Stop flow of gas before extinguishing fire. Use carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical, foam or
water. Use water spray to keep containers cool.

Fire Fighting: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool
containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this can't be done,
then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire
burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
For tank, rail car or tank truck: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Let burn unless leak can be stopped
immediately. Wear NIOSH approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure
demand mode.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

Eye contact: Causes eye irritation. Rapid evaporation of the material may cause frostbite.

Skin contact: Causes skin irritation. Rapid evaporation of the material may cause frostbite.

Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Several minutes of exposure to high, but
attainable concentrations (over 1000 ppm) may cause difficulty breathing, central
nervous system depression and symptoms such as: ataxia or dizziness,
drowsiness or fatigue, loss of consciousness, headache, euphoria and irritability,
visual and or hearing disturbances, nausea, memory loss. Prolonged, high
concentration exposures may cause unconsciousness or death. Cardiac: Acute
intoxication may cause irregular heartbeats.

Repeated prolonged exposure may damage: skin (scleroderma), bones
(acro-osteolysis), blood vessels in the hands (Raynaud's Syndrome). Suspected of
causing genetic defects. Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
Reproductive effects and testes damage occurred in rats exposed to vinyl
chloride. These endpoints, however, were generally noted at concentrations
greater than those necessary to cause liver damage.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:

Listed below.

Inhalation (Breathing): Respiratory Tract Irritation: rhinitis, scratchy throat, cough, sore throat, runny nose,
wheezing, difficulty breathing (dyspnea). Inhalation of this material may cause central nervous system depression
