First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Inhalation
Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Skin
May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Skin
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Skin
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician.
Eyes
May cause eye irritation.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Eyes
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from acids. Do not store near alkaline substances. Keep away from polymerization catalysts.
Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Store under inert gas.
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation
May cause drowsiness, tingling sensations, fatigue, weakness, stumbling, slurred speech, and shaking. May cause central and peripheral nervous system damage. Severe intoxications may cause permanent nerve damage. Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. May affect reproductive system and act as a teratogen.
Skin
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. If absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of ingestion.
Eyes
May cause eye irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed. Can cause nervous system damage. May cause central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system effects. Central nervous system effects, which appear to predominate in acute cases, are characterized by abnormal fatigue, memory difficulties, and dizziness. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms, which are more common with repeated low-dose exposure or following a latency period of up to several weeks after acute exposure can include: muscular weakness, paresthesia, numbness in hands, feet, lower legs, and lower arms, unsteadiness, and difficulties in walking and standing. Autonomic nervous system involvement is indicated by excessive sweating, peripheral vasodilation and difficulties in micturation and defecation.
Hazards
Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Hazards
Pure acrylamide will decompose at 347-572F giving ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Avoid strong oxidizers. Avoid heat, ultraviolet light. Hazardous polymerization may occur. It readily polymerizes when heated to the melting point or when exposed to ultraviolet light. It is known to polymerize with violence when heated.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Compatible chemical-resistant gloves. Chemical safety goggles. Protective clothing.
Personal Protection
Skin: Rubber or neoprene gloves and additional protection including impervious boots, apron, or coveralls, as needed in areas of unusual exposure. Eyes: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Respirators
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
Exposure Effects
rolonged or repeated exposure through any route may cause muscular weakness, incoordination, skin rashes, excessive sweating of hands and feet, cold hands, peeling of the skin, numbness, abnormal skin or muscle sensations, fatigue, and cause central and peripheral nervous system damage. Suspect cancer hazard. May cause cancer. May affect the reproductive system and act as a teratogen.
Exposure limit(s)
OSHA PEL: TWA 0.3 mg/m3 skin NIOSH REL: Ca TWA 0.03 mg/m3 skin See Appendix A NIOSH IDLH: Potential occupational carcinogen 60 mg/m3

Fire Fighting
Extinguish with water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Fire Fighting
Fight fire from maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material.For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. For large fires use water spray, fog or foam. Move container from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Upper exp. limit

Fire Potential
May polymerize on melting.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Small spills/leaks
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
May polymerize explosively. Thermally unstable. Polymerization may be caused by exposure to heat, U.V. light, oxidizers, or peroxides. May be stabilized with hydroquinone, t-butylpyrocatechol, N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine, or other antioxidants.
Stability
Stable if stored as directed.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents.
Incompatibilities
Acids, oxidizing agents, and bases. Spontaneously reacts with hydroxyl-, amino-, and sulfhydryl- containing compounds.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, ammonia.
Decomposition
hermal decomposition may produce toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides and/or phosphine Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide.
Combustion Products
Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced during combustion.
