=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:VERY LIMITED ACUTE HEALTH HAZARD IN
    NON-SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. VERY LIMITED CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARD IN
    NON-SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION TO EYE, SKIN & NOSE. MERCURY
    POISONING IS APPARENTLY NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MERCURY IS SO
    TIGHTLY CHEMICALLY BOUND AND DOES NOT SPLIT OFF TO AN APPRECIABLE
    EXTENT, EVEN IN THE GASTROINTE STINAL TRACT. SENSITIVE REACTION TO
    MERCURY OR SULFUR TO INCLUDE ERYTHEMATOUS, PAPULAR & VESICULAR
    ERUPTIONS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SENSITIVITY TO MERCURY COMPOUNDS OR
    SULFUR

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: WASH LIBERALLY WITH WATER OR ISOTONIC SALINE. SKIN:
    WASH LIBERALLY WITH WATER & TREAT TOPICALLY OR SYSTEMICALLY WITH
    CORTICOSTEROIDS. INHALATION: IRRIGATE AND TREAT SYSTEMICALLY FOR
    MUCOUS MEMBR ANE IRRITATION. INGESTION: CONSIDER 50%ALCOHOL & 10%
    ACETONE. MERCURY IN THIMEROSAL IS CLOSELY BOUND & IS NOT SPLIT OFF
    IN GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:58F,14.4C
Extinguishing Media:WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:DILUTION WITH WATER WILL REDUCE FLAMMABILITY.
    CONFINE TINCTURE TO PREVENT SPREADING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IGNITION OF ALCOHOL & ACETONE FUMES IN
    CONFINEMENT AND WARM TEMPERATURES.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID HEAT, SPARKS & OPEN FLAMES, DILUTE WITH
    WATER & ABSORB INTO PAPER, CLOTH, ETC.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE WITH COOL WATER TO REDUCE FLASH POINT.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT FROM CONTACT WITH METALLIC
    SURFACES.
Other Precautions:BECAUSE THE 49% MERCURY IS IN COMPLEX ORGANIC
    COMBINATION, THIMEROSAL IS LESS TOXIC AND LESS IRRITATING THAN MOST
    ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED.
