INGREDIENT DATA

MORPHOLINE:
   Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
   OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
   · cause inflammation
   · cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
   · lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
   · permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
   · acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
   Odour Threshold Value: 0.011 ppm (detection), 0.070 ppm (recognition)
   Morpholine vapour irritates eyes, nose and throat, following repeated
   exposure of rats to 25 ppm. Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to
   significantly reduce the risk of eye and respiratory tract irritation in
   workers. Because morpholine permeates the skin, in sufficient quantities
   to produce systemic effects, a skin notation has been added.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE

· Safety glasses with side shields.
· Chemical goggles.
· Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

HANDS/FEET

Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.

OTHER

· Overalls.
· P.V.C. apron.
· Barrier cream.
· Skin cleansing cream.
· Eye wash unit.

RESPIRATOR

Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation
may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate
ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the
workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture
velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.

Type of Contaminant:
Air Speed:

solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still
air).
0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)

aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling
(released at low velocity into zone of active generation)
0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)

direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling,
conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)

grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated
dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion).
2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)



Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range
Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture
1: Disturbing room air currents

2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only.
2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: Intermittent, low production.
3: High production, heavy use

4: Large hood or large air mass in motion
4: Small hood-local control only



Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.
Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing
mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal
tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.

EYE

There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage
in some persons.

SKIN

There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin
on contact in some persons.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin.

INHALED

The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to
the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by
all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION

Not available. Refer to individual constituents.

MORPHOLINE:
TOXICITY                                            IRRITATION
Oral (rat) LD50: 1050 mg/kg                         Skin (rabbit): 995 mg/24hr- SEVERE
Inhalation (rat) LC50: 8000 ppm/8 hr                Skin (rabbit):500mg open- Moderate
Dermal (rabbit) LD50: 500 mg/kg                     Eye (rabbit): 2 mg - SEVERE
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin. Repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
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.
