SECTION 3: CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL DATA
Not applicable. This item is a light bulb. Up to 8
foot long and up to 1.5 inches in diameter
SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
FIRE AND EXPLOSION: DATA NOT APPLICABLE -- under extreme heat,
glass envelope might melt and crack.
SECTION 5: REACTIVITY DATA
- Stability:
Lamp is stable
- Polymerization: Not applicable
- Incompatibility: Glass will react with
Hydrofluoric Acid
SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Not applicable to the intact lamp. Breakage of the lamp
may result in some exposure to the phosphor powder dust and to a very little
amount of elemental mercury vapor. No adverse affects are expected form
occasional exposure to broken lamps, but as a matter of good practice, prolonged
or frequent exposure should be avoided through the use of adequate ventilation
during disposal of large quantities of lamps.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID: NORMAL FIRST AID PROCEDURE
FOR GLASS CUTS IF SUCH OCCUR THROUGH LAMP BREAKAGE.
SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USAGE
Normal precautions should be taken for the
collection of broken glass.
Waste Disposal Method: At the end of rated life, when this lamp is
removed form service, it will be subjected to the current Toxic Characteristic
Leaching Procedure (TLCP) prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
This test is used to determining whether an item is a hazardous waste or a
non-hazardous waste under current E.P.A. definition. Disposal is currently
regulated in Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine (mid 2002), and the
incinerator counties of Florida. The generator should check with local and
state officials for their guidance. In most states ParaLite brand lamps
are considered non-hazardous subtitle D waste. We encourage recycling of
these products by qualified recyclers.
SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES
- Respiratory Protection: None Required.
NIOSH-approved respirator might be used if large volumes of lamps are being
broken for disposal.
- Ventilation: Avoid inhalation of any airborne dust.
Provide local exhaust when disposing of large quantities of lamps.
- Hand and Eye Protection: Appropriate hand and
eye protection should be worn when disposing of large quantities of lamps or
handling broken lamps.
SECTION 9: REGULATORY ISSUES
As a product these mercury containing lamps being
shipped in the manufacturers original packaging are not regulated by air, truck
or ocean shipments. As a waste, spent ParaLite fluorescent lamps would be
regulated in Minnesota, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine (will regulate disposal as
of Mid 2002), and certain communities of Florida. Disposal of Paralite
lamps as non-hazardous in Tennessee requires a permit. Households are
exempt in most States except Minnesota, and Vermont. This material safety
data sheet does not constitute "knowledge of the waste", in certain
jurisdiction.
