CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE IN FIRE. Hazard Rating Key: 0=minimal; 1=slight; 2=moderate; 3=serious; 4=severe f 2-Butoxy Ethanol can affect you by ingestion and may be absorbed through the skin. f 2-Butoxy Ethanol should be handled as a CARCINOGEN-- WITH EXTREME CAUTION. f Contact can irritate the skin and eyes with possible eye damage. f Inhaling 2-Butoxy Ethanol can irritate the nose and throat. f 2-Butoxy Ethanol can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. f Exposure can cause headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, and passing out. f 2-Butoxy Ethanol may damage the liver and kidneys. Workplace Exposure Limits OSHA: The legal airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 50 ppm averaged over an 8-hour workshift. NIOSH: The recommended airborne exposure limit (REL) is 5 ppm averaged over a 10-hour workshift. ACGIH: The threshold limit value (TLV) is 20 ppm averaged over an 8-hour workshift. f 2-Butoxy Ethanol may be a CARCINOGEN in humans. There may be no safe level of exposure to a carcinogen, so all contact should be reduced to the lowest possible level. f The above exposure limits are for air levels only. When skin contact also occurs, you may be overexposed, even though air levels are less than the limits listed above.
2-BUTOXY ETHANOL Page 2 of 6 Determining Your Exposure f Read the product manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and the label to determine product ingredients and important safety and health information about the product mixture. f For each individual hazardous ingredient, read the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet, available on the RTK Program website (www.nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb) or in your facility's RTK Central File or Hazard Communication Standard file. f You have a right to this information under the New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act, the Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Act if you are a public worker in New Jersey, and under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) if you are a private worker. f The New Jersey Right to Know Act requires most employers to label chemicals in the workplace and requires public employers to provide their employees with information concerning chemical hazards and controls. The federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and the PEOSH Hazard Communication Standard (N.J.A.C. 12:100-7) require employers to provide similar information and training to their employees. This Fact Sheet is a summary of available information regarding the health hazards that may result from exposure. Duration of exposure, concentration of the substance and other factors will affect your susceptibility to any of the potential effects described below. Health Hazard Information Acute Health Effects The following acute (short-term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to 2-Butoxy Ethanol : f Contact can irritate the skin and eyes with possible eye damage. f Inhaling 2-Butoxy Ethanol can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing. f 2-Butoxy Ethanol can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. f Exposure can cause headache, dizziness, confusion, lightheadedness, and passing out. Chronic Health Effects The following chronic (long-term) health effects can occur at some time after exposure to 2-Butoxy Ethanol and can last for months or years: Cancer Hazard f 2-Butoxy Ethanol may be a CARCINOGEN in humans since it has been shown to cause liver cancer in animals. f Many scientists believe there is no safe level of exposure to a carcinogen. Reproductive Hazard f 2-Butoxy Ethanol may damage the developing fetus. f There is limited evidence that 2-Butoxy Ethanol may damage the male reproductive system (including decreasing the sperm count) in animals and may affect female fertility in animals. Other Effects f 2-Butoxy Ethanol may damage the liver and kidneys. Medical Medical Testing For frequent or potentially high exposure (half the TLV or greater), the following are recommended before beginning work and at regular times after that: f Liver and kidney function tests Any evaluation should include a careful history of past and present symptoms with an exam. Medical tests that look for damage already done are not a substitute for controlling exposure. Request copies of your medical testing. You have a legal right to this information under the OSHA Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records Standard (29 CFR 1910.1020). Mixed Exposures f More than light alcohol consumption can cause liver damage. Drinking alcohol may increase the liver damage caused by 2-Butoxy Ethanol .
2-BUTOXY ETHANOL Page 3 of 6 Workplace Controls and Practices Very toxic chemicals, or those that are reproductive hazards or sensitizers, require expert advice on control measures if a less toxic chemical cannot be substituted. Control measures include: (1) enclosing chemical processes for severely irritating and corrosive chemicals, (2) using local exhaust ventilation for chemicals that may be harmful with a single exposure, and (3) using general ventilation to control exposures to skin and eye irritants. For further information on workplace controls, consult the NIOSH document on Control Banding at www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ctrlbanding/ . The following work practices are also recommended: f Label process containers. f Provide employees with hazard information and training. f Monitor airborne chemical concentrations. f Use engineering controls if concentrations exceed recommended exposure levels. f Provide eye wash fountains and emergency showers. f Wash or shower if skin comes in contact with a hazardous material. f Always wash at the end of the workshift. f Change into clean clothing if clothing becomes contaminated. f Do not take contaminated clothing home. f Get special training to wash contaminated clothing. f Do not eat, smoke, or drink in areas where chemicals are being handled, processed or stored. f Wash hands carefully before eating, smoking, drinking, applying cosmetics or using the toilet. Personal Protective Equipment The OSHA Personal Protective Equipment Standard (29 CFR 1910.132) requires employers to determine the appropriate personal protective equipment for each hazard and to train employees on how and when to use protective equipment. The following recommendations are only guidelines and may not apply to every situation. Gloves and Clothing f Avoid skin contact with 2-Butoxy Ethanol . Wear personal protective equipment made from material which can not be permeated or degraded by this substance. Safety equipment suppliers and manufacturers can provide recommendations on the most protective glove and clothing material for your operation. f Safety equipment manufacturers recommend Butyl, Nitrile, Neoprene, Silver Shield®/4H® and Viton for gloves and DuPont Tychem® SL and Responder®; Kappler® Zytron® 500; and Saint-Gobain ONESuit® TEC, or the equivalent, as protective materials for Glycol Ethers . f All protective clothing (suits, gloves, footwear, headgear) should be clean, available each day, and put on before work. Eye Protection f Wear indirect-vent, impact and splash resistant goggles when working with liquids. f Wear a face shield along with goggles when working with corrosive, highly irritating or toxic substances. Respiratory Protection Improper use of respirators is dangerous. Respirators should only be used if the employer has implemented a written program that takes into account workplace conditions, requirements for worker training, respirator fit testing, and medical exams, as described in the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). f Where the potential exists for exposure over 5 ppm , use a NIOSH approved full facepiece respirator with an organic vapor cartridge. Increased protection is obtained from full facepiece powered-air purifying respirators. f Leave the area immediately if (1) while wearing a filter or cartridge respirator you can smell, taste, or otherwise detect 2-Butoxy Ethanol , (2) while wearing particulate filters abnormal resistance to breathing is experienced, or (3) eye irritation occurs while wearing a full facepiece respirator. Check to make sure the respirator-to-face seal is still good. If it is, replace the filter or cartridge. If the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator. f Consider all potential sources of exposure in your workplace. You may need a combination of filters, prefilters or cartridges to protect against different forms of a chemical (such as vapor and mist) or against a mixture of chemicals. f Where the potential exists for exposure over 50 ppm , use a NIOSH approved supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For increased protection use in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. f Exposure to 700 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health. If the possibility of exposure above 700 ppm exists, use a NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode equipped with an emergency escape air cylinder. Fire Hazards If employees are expected to fight fires, they must be trained and equipped as stated in the OSHA Fire Brigades Standard (29 CFR 1910.156). f 2-Butoxy Ethanol is a COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. f Use dry chemical, CO 2 , water spray or alcohol-resistant foam as extinguishing agents. f POISONOUS GASES ARE PRODUCED IN FIRE. f CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE IN FIRE. f Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

2-BUTOXY ETHANOL Page 5 of 6 GLOSSARY ACGIH is the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. They publish guidelines called Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for exposure to workplace chemicals. Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) are established by the EPA. They describe the risk to humans resulting from once-in-a lifetime, or rare, exposure to airborne chemicals. Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance can change its physical state from a liquid to a gas. A carcinogen is a substance that causes cancer. The CAS number is unique, identifying number, assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, to a specific chemical. CFR is the Code of Federal Regulations, which are the regulations of the United States government. A combustible substance is a solid, liquid or gas that will burn. A corrosive substance is a gas, liquid or solid that causes destruction of human skin or severe corrosion of containers. DEP is the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. DOT is the Department of Transportation, the federal agency that regulates the transportation of chemicals. EPA is the Environmental Protection Agency, the federal agency responsible for regulating environmental hazards. ERG is the Emergency Response Guidebook. It is a guide for emergency responders for transportation emergencies involving hazardous substances. Emergency Response Planning Guideline (ERPG) values are intended to provide estimates of concentration ranges where one reasonably might anticipate observing adverse effects. A fetus is an unborn human or animal. A flammable substance is a solid, liquid, vapor or gas that will ignite easily and burn rapidly. The flash point is the temperature at which a liquid or solid gives off vapor that can form a flammable mixture with air. IARC is the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a scientific group. Ionization Potential is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom or molecule. It is measured in electron volts. IRIS is the Integrated Risk Information System database maintained by federal EPA. The database contains information on human health effects that may result from exposure to various chemicals in the environment. LEL or Lower Explosive Limit , is the lowest concentration of a combustible substance (gas or vapor) in the air capable of continuing an explosion. mg/m 3 means milligrams of a chemical in a cubic meter of air. It is a measure of concentration (weight/volume) . A mutagen is a substance that causes mutations. A mutation is a change in the genetic material in a body cell. Mutations can lead to birth defects, miscarriages, or cancer. NFPA is the National Fire Protection Association. It classifies substances according to their fire and explosion hazard. NIOSH is the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It tests equipment, evaluates and approves respirators, conducts studies of workplace hazards, and proposes standards to OSHA. NTP is the National Toxicology Program which tests chemicals and reviews evidence for cancer. OSHA is the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which adopts and enforces health and safety standards. PEOSHA is the New Jersey Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health Act, which adopts and enforces health and safety standards in public workplaces. Permeated is the movement of chemicals through protective materials. PIH is a DOT designation for chemicals which are Poison Inhalation Hazards. ppm means parts of a substance per million parts of air. It is a measure of concentration by volume in air. A reactive substance is a solid, liquid or gas that releases energy under certain conditions. STEL is a Short Term Exposure Limit which is usually a 15- minute exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a work day. A teratogen is a substance that causes birth defects by damaging the fetus. UEL or Upper Explosive Limit is the highest concentration in air above which there is too much fuel (gas or vapor) to begin a reaction or explosion. Vapor Density is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of one gas to the weight of another (usually Hydrogen ), at the same temperature and pressure. The vapor pressure is a measure of how readily a liquid or a solid mixes with air at its surface. A higher vapor pressure indicates a higher concentration of the substance in air and therefore increases the likelihood of breathing it in.
