| Sodium Peroxidisulfate | 1000 mg/kg oral, rat | Not established |
| EYE CONTACT: | May cause eye irritation. In case of contact, flush eyes with water. Call a physician if irritation persists. |
| SKIN CONTACT: | May cause irritation. In case of contact, wash skin with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists. |
| SKIN ABSORPTION: | Not expected to be absorbed through skin. In case of contact, flush skin with soap and water. |
| INHALATION: | May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. If inhaled and irritation occurs, remove to fresh air. If irritation persists, call a physician. |
| INGESTION: | Expected to cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. If swallowed, give victim a glass of water and induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. |
| CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: | No chronic ( long term ) effects are known for humans. |
| OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: | Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure to this product include: Conjunctivitis of the eye, dermatitis of the skin, asthma, and respiratory diseases. |
VI. EXPOSURE CONTROL MEASURES
| EYE PROTECTION: | Eye protection is required. |
| PROTECTIVE GLOVES: | Wear chemical resistant gloves. |
| RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: | Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure limits listed in Section III by using engineering controls. If not feasible, use an approved air-purifying respirator with approved filters and/or sorbents. |
| OTHER PROTECTION: | If repeated or prolonged skin contact or contamination is likely, protective clothing should be worn. |
| VENTILATION: | Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation in enclosed areas to maintain airborne concentrations at a minimum. Refer to " Industrial Ventilation" by ACGIH for a manual of recommended practices. |
| PERSONAL HYGIENE / WORK PRACTICES: | Establish good personal hygiene and work practices. Always wash hands and face before eating, drinking, or smoking. |

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL & DISPOSAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
CERCLA/SARA requires notification to the appropriate Federal, State, and local authorities of releases of hazardous or extremely hazardous quantities equal to or greater than the Reportable Quantities ( RQs) in 40 CFR 302.4 and 40 CFR 355. This product contains no Reportable Quantities.
SARA Title 313 requires submissions of annual reports of releases of toxic chemicals that appear in 40 CFR 372. Components present in this product at a level which could require reporting under the statute are: NONE.
ACTION TO TAKE
FOR SPILLS / LEAKS: See Section V and VI for hazards and exposure controls. sweep up, place in drum lined with acid resistant material and rinse area with water. Do not allow contact with combustible material. Keep material dry. In case of emergency, contact Degussa at (205) 653-0632 for assistance.
DISPOSAL METHOD: This material is an oxidizer defined by DOT, therefore a hazardous waste ( per RCRA ) due to Ignitability. Disposal should be conducted by an EPA permitted disposal facility. Contact Degussa at (205) 443- 4000 ext. 2287 for assistance.
IX. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE
Store tightly closed in a cool, dry area separated from flammable materials. Avoid contamination; avoid exposure to heat and moisture.
