Section VI --- Health Hazard Information
First Aid
In case of contact with reagents, rinse well with water. If swallowed, induce vomiting
immediately by giving two glasses of water and sticking finger down throat.

Eye Contact
For all kit components, flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention.

Skin contact
Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap and water to wash away organic components.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Inhalation

Toxicological Information
Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Diglyme may cause drowsiness, headache, cyanosis, central nervous
system depression, nausea and vomiting if inhaled or swallowed. Exposure may cause skin irritation
and may be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Ingestion will cause gastrointestinal disturbances.
Diglyme is a member of the group of compounds known as “glycol diethers” which, in studies on
laboratory animals have been shown to cause reversible testicular and sperm damage. May be a rick
for women of child bearing potential. Methanol and diglyme components are identified on lists in
CERCLA, SARA Sec. 313 and TSCA.

Section VII --- Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures


Spills and Leaks Ampule 1 - Methanol solution
Solvent absorbent recommended for spills. Flush area with water.

Ampule 2 - Methanol solution


Solvent absorbent recommended for spills. Flush area with water.

High Range Ampule - Diglyme


Solvent absorbent recommended for spills. Place material into a container for
disposal later.

Disposal Used reagents contain oil and solvent. Dispose of as an organic waste in
accordance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations.
