Pallet (600 kg) containing 30 bags of 20 kg each.

First Aid of METOLAT P 872:
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. 
Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. 

Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. 
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. 

SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. 
Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. 
If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. 

INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. 

If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. 
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. 
Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. 

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. 
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. 

Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. 
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. 

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. 
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.

Fire Fighting of METOLAT P 872:
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. 
A water spray may also be used. 

Accidental Release Measures of METOLAT P 872:

Isolation and Evacuation
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. 

LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet). 

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. 

Spillage Disposal of METOLAT P 872:
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. 
Collect leaking liquid in sealable air tight containers. 

Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. 
Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. 
Do NOT wash away into sewer.

Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. 
If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. 
Then wash away with plenty of water.

Disposal Methods of METOLAT P 872:
Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number U108, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

Good candidate for rotary kiln incineration with a temperature range of 820-1,600 °C with residence times for liquids and gases: seconds; solids: hours. 
Also, a good candidate for liquid injection incineration with a temperature range of 650-1,600 °C with residence times of 0.1-2.0 seconds. 
Also, a good candidate for fluidized bed incineration with a temperature range of 450-980 °C with residence times for liquids and gases: seconds; solids: longer.

This compound should be susceptible to removal from waste water by air stripping.

PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": There is no universal method of disposal that has been proved satisfactory for all carcinogenic compounds and specific methods of chem destruction published have not been tested on all kinds of carcinogen-containing waste.
Summary of avail methods and recommendations given must be treated as guide only.

Preventive Measures of METOLAT P 872:
The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. 
The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. 

However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. 
In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. 
In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Eating and smoking should not be permitted in areas where liquid dioxane is handled, processed, or stored.

Employees who handle liquid dioxane should wash their hands thoroughly before eating, smoking, or using toilet facilities.

Clothing wet with liquid dioxane should be placed in closed containers for storage until METOLAT P 872 can be discarded or until provision is made for the removal of dioxane from the clothing. 
If the clothing is to be laundered or otherwise cleaned to remove the dioxane, the person performing the operation should be informed of dioxane's hazardous properties.
