SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:	Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes of nose and throat. Moisture may liberate heat and vapors of cyclopentadiene.
Primary Routes of Exposure:	Ingestion, eyes, inhalation, skin
Eye Contact:	May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact:	May cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. Moisture can cause hydrolysis and possible thermal burns.
Inhalation:	Dust may be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion:	No specific information on the physiological effects of ingestion. Ingestion may lead to thermal burns, vomiting and diarrhea.
Acute Health Effects:	May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Chronic Health Effects:	No information available on long-term chronic effects.
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.
