IV. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammability:
Non-combustible
Fire Extinguishing Materials:
Use extinguishing agents suitable for surrounding fire.
Special Firefighting Procedure:
Use a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent
inhalation of dust and/or fumes that may be generated from
broken lamps during firefighting activities.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
When exposed to high temperature, toxic fumes may be
released from broken lamps.

V. HEALTH HAZARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE
INTACT. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good
practice, avoid prolonged or frequent exposure to broken lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major
hazard from broken lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
NIOSH/OSHA Occupational Health Guidelines for Chemical Hazards and/or NIOSH Pocket Guide to
Chemical Hazards lists the following effects of overexposure to the chemicals/materials tabulated below
when they are inhaled, ingested, or contacted with skin or eye:
Lead
- Ingestion and inhalation of lead dust or fume must be avoided. Lead dust or fumes may cause
irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Excessive lead absorption can be toxic and may
include symptoms such as anemia, weakness, abdominal pain, and kidney disease. However,
the chemical inertness and insolubility of this material is expected to reduce the potential for
systemic lead toxicity.
All other components of this product do not pose a significant risk of respiratory and/or physical
effects.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST-AID PROCEDURES:
Glass Cuts:
Perform normal first aid procedures. Seek medical attention as required.
Inhalation:
If discomfort, irritation or symptoms of pulmonary involvement develop, remove
from exposure and seek medical attention as needed.
Ingestion:
In the unlikely event of ingesting a large quantity of material, seek medical attention
immediately.
Contact,
Skin:
Thoroughly wash affected area with mild soap or detergent and water and prevent
further contact. Seek medical attention as needed.
Contact, Eye:
Wash eyes, including under eyelids, immediately with copious amounts of water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL REPORT, IARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHER):
None
