- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
INHALED
» - If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
» Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
» - Foam.
- Dry chemical powder.
FIRE FIGHTING
» - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
» - Combustible.
- Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic
material.
- Benzoyl peroxide decomposes when heated with formation of dense white toxic smoke of benzoic acid, phenyl benzoate, terphenyls, biphenyls, and
carbon dioxide.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
» - Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.
HAZCHEM: None

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
» May cause SENSITISATION by skin contact.
» May cause harm to the unborn child.
» Possible risk of impaired fertility.
» Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness and cracking.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
» unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
Oral (Rat) LD50: >5000 mg/kgInhalation (Rat) LC50: >24 mg/kg/4h» Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczemainvolves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type.
For dibutyl phthalate (DBP):In studies on rats, DBP is absorbed through the skin, although in in vitro studies human skin has been found to be less permeable than rat skin tothis compound. Studies in laboratory animals indicate that DBP is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, distributed primarily to theliver and kidneys of rats and excreted in urine as metabolites following oral or intravenous administration.
The material may produce peroxisome proliferation. Peroxisomes are single, membrane limited, cytoplasmic organelles that are found in the cells ofanimals, plants, fungi and protozoa.
Transitional Phthalate Esters: produced from alcohols with straight-chain carbon backbones of C4 to C6. This subcategory also includes a phthalateproduced from benzyl alcohol as one ester group with the second ester composed of an alkyl group with a C5 carbon backbone and butyrate group.
DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:» unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
Subcutaneous (Rat) LD: 40 mg/kg (@ 50%)Intraperitoneal (Mouse) LD50: 440 mg/kgIntravenous (Rabbit) LD: 16 mg/kg» Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczemainvolves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produceconjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form ofdermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis.
For benzoyl peroxide:The acute oral toxicity of benzoyl peroxide is very low: LD50 >2,000 mg/kg bw in mice, and 5,000 mg/kg bw in rats. No deaths occurred in male ratsfollowing inhalation of 24.3 mg/L.
The substance is classified by IARC as Group 3: NOT classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
Evidence of carcinogenicity may be inadequate or limited in animal testing.
