Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Effects of Exposure: POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE: INHALATION: MAY CAUSE PERSISTENT
  PULMONARY EFFECTS IN SOME INDIVIDUALS.  HYDROGEN FLUORIDE: SEVERE EYE/NOSE
  & THROAT IRRITATION. PULMONARY EDEMA. OVEREXPOUSRE CAN INJURE THE L IVER
  & KIDNEYS. CARBONYL FLUORIDE: IRRITATION, EYE CORROSION
  W/CORNEAL/CONJUNCTIVAL ULCERATION. IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY
  PASSAGES/TEMPORARY LUNG IRRITATION EFFECTS.

Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING
  CLEAN-UP. SPILLED MATERIAL IS A SLIPPING HAZARD. RECOVER UNDAMAGED &
  MINIMALLY CONTAMINATED MATERIAL FOR REUSE & RECLAMATION. SHOVEL/SWEEP UP.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE OF BY RECYCLING/LANDFILL. INCINERATE ONLY IF
  INCINERATOR IS CAPABLE OF SCRUBBING OUT HYDROGEN FLUORIDE & OTHER ACIDIC
  COMBUSTION PRODUCTS. TREATMENT, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION & DISPOSAL MUST
  BE  IN ACCORDANCE W/LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED TO AVOID
  CONTAMINATION. DON'T USE A TORCH TO CLEAN THIS MATERIAL FROM EQUIPMENT W/O
  LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION & RESPIRATOR.
Other Precautions: AVOID BREATHING DUST. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF
  CIGARETTES/TOBACCO W/DUST FROM THE MATERIAL.
*
