esponse personnel for identification of materials during transportationemergencies. NA (North American) numbers are assigned by TransportCanada and the US Department of Transport to materials they considerhazardous and to which a UN number has not been assigned;vapour - a gaseous form of a material which is normally solid or liquid atroom temperature and pressure;vapour density - the density of a vapour compared to the density of anequal amount of air;vapour pressure - the pressure of a vapour in equilibrium with its liquid orsolid form;ventilation - the movement of air;vesicant - a chemical which, if it can escape from the vein, causesextensive tissue damage, with vesicle formation or blistering;VOCs - Volatile Organic Compounds;volatility - the ability of a material to evaporate.List of Sources to Help Identify Hazards of Chemicals1. EPA FACT Sheets:www.epa.gov/enviro/html/emci/chemref/index.html2. ASTDR ToxFAQs:www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaq.html3. EPCRA Overview:http://yosemie.epa.gov/oswer/ceppoweb.nsf/contenl/ehs_2003.htm4.

Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA):www.osha.gov3. MSDS of solvents pertaining to the reportPlease note:• Paraffin in South Africa is known as kerosene in the USA;• Glycerine or glycerol in South Africa is known as glycerin in the USA;98
• Many of the occupation exposure limits in the MSDS sheet should beconsidered as guidelines - limits set by South African legislation areenforceable and will take precedence;• TCE, chloroform, dichloromethane have been reported to becarcinogens;• Ensolv (brand name for n-propyl bromide) causes irritation to thelungs where there is a pre-existing lung condition - some skin/eyeirritation reported. Should be used in well ventilated area to avoidheadaches, dizziness and nausea;• When exposed to more than one chemical/agent, synergistic effectsare often reported in the literature. That is, the combined effects oftwo or more agents are often worse the sum of the individual effects4.

Useful sources for local MSDSNote: Suppliers of hazardous chemical substances have a duty to supplyan up-to-date MSDS to the purchaser/user of the substance. Users mustensure that the MSDS is obtained and held on file and regular checksshould be done to ensure that that MSDS are not outdated (in particularwith regard to local emergency contact information).http://www.msdssearch.com/ http://www.mycrochem.co.za/msds/http://www.engen.co.za/home/apps/content/products_services/msds/CategoryList.aspxhttp://www.euapps.shell.com/MSDS/GotoMsdshttps://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/HomePage.aspxhttp://www.totaltec.co.za/drawmenu.php?guid=1http://www.ikusasachemicals.co.za/www.ikusasachemicals.co.za/index.html99
