4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedClassified as very toxic; probable oral lethal human dose is between 50 and 500 mg/kg or between 1 teaspoon and 1 ounce for a 150 lb. person. Polymerized acrylamide is not toxic, but the monomer can cause peripheral nerve damage. It is a cumulative neurotoxin and repeated exposure to small amounts may cause serious injury to the nervous system. The neurological effects may be delayed. Polymer inhibitors or stabilizers added to the monomer may also produce toxicity. The symptoms of acrylamide toxicity are consistent with mid-brain lesions and blocked transport along both motor and sensory axons. Individuals with nervous system diseases should not be exposed to acrylamide. (EPA, 1998)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153P [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Absorption, Distribution and ExcretionMICROSPHERES OF (14)C-LABELED POLYACRYLAMIDE WERE MAINLY (APPROX 80%) FOUND IN LIVER & SPLEEN BOTH AFTER IV & IP INJECTION IN MOUSE & RAT, ALSO DETECTED EARLY (1 HR AFTER IV INJECTION) IN BONE MARROW, & PARTICLE AGGREGATES WERE ALSO INITIALLY FOUND IN LUNGS.
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaFight fire from maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. For large fires use water spray, fog or foam. Move container from fire area if you can do so without risk. (EPA, 1998)
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalPure acrylamide will decompose at 347-572F giving ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Avoid strong oxidizers. Avoid heat, ultraviolet light. Hazardous polymerization may occur. It readily polymerizes when heated to the melting point or when exposed to ultraviolet light. It is known to polymerize with violence when heated. (EPA, 1998)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153P [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. (ERG, 2016)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to ERG Guide 169. (ERG, 2016)

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsAmides, such as ACRYLAMIDE, react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Spontaneous, violent polymerization occurs at its melting point (86°C) [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 428]. Can polymerize vigorously if mixed with peroxides.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsCHEMICAL PROFILE: White, crystalline solid, toxic, confirmed carcinogen, absorbed through the skin. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen. Spontaneous, violent polymerization occurs at its melting point (86 deg. C) [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 428]. (REACTIVITY, 1999)
