Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY
    REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING, LIGHT HEADEDNESS,
    GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES,
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS/DEATH. SKIN: IRRITANT, EFF ECTS OF SYSTEMIC
    TOXICITY. EYE: IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:METHYLENE CHLORIDE IS CONSIDERED TO BE
    AN A2 CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:METHYLENE CHLORIDE IS METABOLIZED TO CO2,
    RAISING THE CARBOXY HEMOGLOBIN CONC. IN THE BLOOD W/RESULTING
    SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING. IN SCREENING TESTS W/EXPERIMENTAL
    A LARGE INTRAVENOUS EPINEPHRINE CHALLENGE HAS INDUCED SERIOUS
    CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL PHYS. IF BRETHING IS
    DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. DON'T GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR DRUGS.
    SKIN: FLUSH W /WATER. GET MED ATT. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING
    AS THE HAZARD OF ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNGS IS A GREATER HAZARD THAN
    ALLOWING IT TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE INTESTINAL TRACT. GIVE 2
    GLASSES OF WATER.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Fire Fighting Procedures:SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE
    REQUIRED IF AEROSOLS RUPTURE/CONTENTS ARE SPILLED UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS.
