[Fire Fighting]

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Extinguishing media: Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

.1
[Fire Potential]

Slight when exposed to heat or flame.
[Ingestion]

Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
[Inhalation]

Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid.
[Skin]

Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
[Eyes]

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
[Storage]

Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
[Handling]

Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
[Inhalation]

May cause respiratory tract irritation.
[Skin]

May cause mild skin irritation.
[Eyes]

May cause mild eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
[Ingestion]

Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. May cause central nervous system depression.

[Personal Protection]

Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
[Respirators]

Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
[Exposure Effects]

With most exposures, one would not expect to see alternations in vital signs. However, with large oral or inhalation exposures, rapid breathing and rapid heart rate may be expected. Central nervous system depression might develop if large amounts are absorbed. At the time of this writing, there are not data on reproductive toxicity in humans from DEHP. Rodent studies suggest testicular atrophy.
