When processed and used according to manufacturer s recommendations, acetal resins present no extraordinary health risks. Before the use of any plastic material, including acetal, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) appHcable to the grade in question should be consulted. 

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) issued by suppHers of acetone ate requited to be revised within 90 days to include new permissible exposure limits (PEL). Current OSHA PEL (54) and ACGIH threshold limit values (TLV) (55) ate the same, 750 ppm TWA and 1000 ppm STEL. Eot comparison, the ACGIH TWA values for the common mbbing alcohols are ethyl, 1000, and isopropyl, 400 ppm. A report on human experience (56) concluded that exposure to 1000 ppm for an 8-h day produced no effects other than slight, transient irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. 

In general, the acute toxicity of halogenated flame retardants is quite low. Tables 11—14 contain acute toxicity information from various manufacturers material safety data sheets (MSDS) for some of the flame retardants and intermediates Hsted in the previous tables. The latest MSDS should always be requested from the suppHer in order to be assured of having up-to-date information about the toxicity of the products as well as recommendations regarding safe handling. 

Human and environmental welfare for lubricants and their use is addressed in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). These MSDS address toxicology and health concerns based on the components in the lubricant as well as indicating the proper response in case of a spik. Environmental ha2ards of the lubricant are covered on European and Japanese MSDS as shown in Table 5.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the organic peroxides producers recommendations should be followed carefljlly for handling and storage of organic peroxide compositions. 

Table 2 Hsts some of the physical, toxicity, flammabiUty, and reactivity properties of common chemicals (10,13,42,45—51). Also given are some of the quantities specified for reporting spills and for compliance with legislated requirements. The OSHA regulations require that material safety data sheets (MSDS) be developed for all process materials, so that the ha2ard data can be communicated to employees (52). Characteristics of toxicity, flammabiUty, chemical iastabiUty, reactivity and reaction energy, operatiag coaditioas, and corrosive properties of constmction materials must all be considered ia analy2iag ha2ard poteatials of chemicals and chemical operations.

Sihca and aluminosihcate fibers that have been exposed to temperatures above 1100°C undergo partial conversion to mullite and cristobaUte (1). Cristobahte is a form of crystalline siUca that can cause siUcosis, a form of pneumoconiosis. lARC has deterrnined that cristobaUte should be classified as 2A, a probable carcinogen. The amount of cristobahte formed, the size of the crystals, and the nature of the vitreous matrix in which they are embedded are time- and temperature-dependent. Under normal use conditions, refractory ceramic fibers are exposed to a temperature gradient, thus only the hottest surfaces of the material may contain appreciable cristobahte. Manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be consulted prior to handling RCF materials. 

MSDS summarizes all of the important health, safety, and environmental information about a substance. A version of this standard also appHes to laboratories, including research and development faciUties, and requires the development of a laboratory hygiene plan. 

The MSDS (46) for thiophosgene describes it as highly toxic, corrosive lachrymator and moisture sensitive compound. It may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. When using this material one should wear the appropriate NIOSH/OSHA-approved respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and other protective clothing. It should be used only in a chemical fume hood. 

Those engaged in handling sulfuric acid should obtain detailed information on safe handling practices. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available from U.S. and European manufacturers.
