Inhalation:
difficult or irregular, administer oxygen; if respiratory arrest occurs, start artificial respiration by trained personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as
a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention immediately.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishable media
Suitable methods of extinction:
Unsuitable methods of extinction:
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Solutions containing glycol ethers such as dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether in water can form flammable vapors with air if heated sufficiently.
Closed containers may explode (due to the build-up of pressure) when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions overexposure
to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent
pressure build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. If possible, firefighters should control run-off water to
prevent environmental contamination.
Water fog, water spray, dry chemical, alcohol resistant foam and carbon dioxide.
None known
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear appropriate protective clothing designated in Section 8. Ventilate the area.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilled material or run-off and prevent contact with soil and entry into drains, sewers or waterways.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Cover with a large quantity of inert absorbent. Collect product using a shovel or broom and into place into an approved container
for proper disposal. Observe possible material restrictions (section 7.2 and 10.5). Clean contaminated area with soap and water.
6.4 Reference to other sections
For indications about waste treatment, see section 13.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Observe label precautions. Wear all appropriate protective equipment specified in Section 8. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Solutions containing glycol ethers in water can form flammable vapors with air if heated sufficiently.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage areas in closed containers. Transfer only to approved containers having correct labeling. Containers that
have been opened should be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of children.

Other protective equipment:
Respiratory Protection:
respirators are appropriate use a full-faced respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a
backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Environmental exposure controls:
Wear protective goggles or safety glasses with unperforated side shields during use. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.133, ANSI Z87.1
Wear gloves recommended by glove supplier for protection against materials in section 3. Gloves should be impermeable to
Protective clothing. Protective boots, if the situation requires.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Biodegradability
Material is expected to be biodegradable.
12.3 Bioaccumulation potential
Partition coefficient/n-octanol in water is <1; therefore, material is not expected to bioaccumulate.
12.4 Mobility
Potential for mobility of this product in natural bodies of water or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process. The EPA does not have
specific data for mobility of Bronopol in soil; however it does not anticipate ground water contamination from the use of this material. Based on the
that dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether is completely miscible with water, it is assumed that there will be no tendency for accumulation to soil and
sediment in a soil-water matrix.
