See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Moderate fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. 

regular dry chemical, dry sand, earth, regular foam, water Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. 

oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Small spills: Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Wet down area with water. Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Use methods to minimize dust. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

rubber 

The following respirators and maximum use concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. At any detectable concentration - Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Escape - Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front-mounted or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an N100, R100, or P100 filter. Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

2-NITRONAPHTHALENE: May cause irritation Many aromatic nitro compounds may cause methemoglobin formation resulting in cyanosis, headache, dizziness, euphoria and flushed faces.

2-NITRONAPHTHALENE: Repeated or prolonged exposure to many aromatic nitro compounds may cause methemoglobin formation resulting in cyanosis, anemia, Heinz bodies with hemolysis, central nervous system depression with dizziness, headache, euphoria, and liver and kidney effects Exposure to some aromatic nitro compounds has been associated with an increase in cancer, particularly of the bladder.

2-NITRONAPHTHALENE: May cause irritation Many liquid aromatic nitro compounds rapidly penetrate the skin and may cause methemoglobin formation resulting in cyanosis, headache, dizziness, euphoria and flushed faces Some aromatic nitro compounds are strong sensitizers.

2-NITRONAPHTHALENE: Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may cause dermatitis Repeated or prolonged exposure to many aromatic nitro compounds may cause methemoglobin formation resulting in cyanosis, anemia, Heinz bodies with hemolysis, central nervous system depression with dizziness, headache, euphoria, and liver and kidney effects Exposure to some aromatic nitro compounds has been associated with an increase in cancer, particularly of the bladder.
