| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Vapor of tetrahydrofuran can cause drowsiness and unconsciousness. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritation of the eyes |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation of the skin. Repeated exposure to skin causes defatting and dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating and harmful by inhalation. Inhalation may cause coughing, chest pains, nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and unconsciousness. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of copper compounds may lead to vomiting, exhaustion, anemia, convulsions and coma. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Inhalation of vapor induces drowsiness, and may cause coughing, chest pains, difficulty in breathing, nausea, dizziness, headache and unconsciousness. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | The dust of copper compounds may cause metal fume fever, hemolysis of the red blood cells and injury to the liver, lungs, kidneys and pancreas. In animal studies tetrahydrofuran acted as a tumorigen (liver), mutagen and reproductive effector. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
