Section 4 - First Aid Measures
 | 
     
Eyes:
          Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
          lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
     
Skin:
          Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
 | 
     
General Information:
          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
          protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
          Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
          if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
          containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
          Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air.  They can
          spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
     
Extinguishing Media:
          For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
          alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
          alcohol-resistant foam. In case of fire, use water, dry chemical,
          chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool
          fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Use agent most
          appropriate to extinguish fire. Do NOT use straight streams of
          water.
Flash Point: 47 deg C ( 116.60 deg F)

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
 | 
     
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
                          in Section 8.
     
Spills/Leaks:
          Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
          then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
          sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
          vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
  
    | 
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
 | 
     
Handling:
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
          Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
          spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
          eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
          (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from heat,
          sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize,
          cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
          heat, sparks or open flames.
     
Storage:
          Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
          ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
          Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
 | 
     
Engineering Controls:
          Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
          concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Ecotoxicity:
          Fish: Fathead Minnow: LC50 = 131.0 mg/L; 96 Hr.; Flow-through
          Bioassay
          No data available.
Environmental:
          If released to soil, calculated soil adsorption coefficients ranging
          from 44-285 indicate that 2-heptanone may display moderate to high
          mobility and it has the potential to leach into groundwater.
          Heptanone has the potential to biodegrade in soil. If released to
          water, 2-heptanone is expected to rapidly volatile to the
          atmosphere. The half-life for volatilization from a model river 1 m
          deep, flowing at 1 m/sec with a wind speed of 3 m/sec is 8.4hr.
Physical:
          If released to the atmosphere, 2-heptanone is expected to undergo a
          gas-phase reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals;
          the estimated half-life for this process is 1.9days. 2-Heptanone's
          relatively high water solubility, 4300 mg/l at 25 deg C, indicates
          that it may undergo atmospheric removal by wet deposition processes.
Other:
          2-Heptanone had a theoretical biological oxygen demand (BOD) of 1.4%,
          2.4% and 4.8% after 6, 12 and 24 hr, respectively, when incubated
          with a activated sludge seed at an initial concentration of 500 ppm.
          2-Heptanone underwent a 5 day theoretical BOD of 44%. In a screening
          study using a sewage seed, 2-heptanone had a 10 day BOD of 0.50 g/g.
