3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 
INHALATION: May cause irritation to respiratory tract and mucous membranes, sore throat, coughing, dizziness, shortness of breath and 
fainting. May be absorbed through inhalation. 
INGESTION: May cause breathlessness, pulmonary edema and rapid heartbeat within 5 minutes. Nausea, vomiting, headache, 
restlessness and diarrhea may occur within 15 minutes. Other symptoms may include low blood pressure, abnormal breathing, reduced 
body temperature, reduced body pH, convulsions, collapse and death. 
EYE CONTACT: Causes irritation, redness, pain and blurred vision. 
SKIN CONTACT: Causes redness, irritation and pain. May be absorbed through skin. 
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED: None known. 
4. FIRST AID MEASURES 
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention 
immediately. 
INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 
Get medical attention immediately. 
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get 
medical attention immediately.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use appropriate extinguishing media for surrounding fire: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular 
foam. 
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Fight fires only if properly trained. Move 
containers from fire area if it can be accomplished without risk. Use water to keep containers cool. Dike fire control water. 
UNUSUAL HAZARDS: Avoid breathing vapors or dusts. Keep upwind. 
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled or material. 
Stop the release if you can do it without risk. Isolate the area and deny entry. Absorb the spill and place used absorbent material into 
approved containers for later disposal. Decontaminate the area with an approved disinfectant. Cover the area with paper towels and pour 
disinfectant over the area. Wipe the area until clean and dry. 
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 
HANDLING: Food and drink should not be consumed or tobacco products used, nor cosmetics applied in areas where chemicals are 
stored or handled. 
STORAGE: Store away from incompatible substances. Store in tightly closed containers. Avoid contact with open wounds and body fluids. 
Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking. Observe, federal, state and local regulations. 
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where splashing of the solution is possible. Maintain eyewash 
fountain and quick drench facilities in the work area. 
CLOTHING/GLOVES: Clothing such as gowns, aprons, or lab coats should be worn when working with this material. Protective gloves 
should be worn while handling materials and/or surfaces, which are potentially infectious. 
HEAD/ FOOT PROTECTION: Hood, surgical caps, boots and shoe covers should be worn in areas with significant quantities of infectious 
materials. 
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator should be worn where airborne exposures may exceed OSHA/ACGIH 
exposure limits. 
VENTILATION: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below permissible air 
concentrations.

explosive. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may form when bovine albumin is heated to decomposition. 
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 
ACUTE EFFECTS: This product is manufactured from human blood and therefore must be considered to be capable of transmitting 
disease. The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Exposure above Occupational Exposure Limits could cause 
effects on the nervous system. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is relatively non-toxic. Extremely high particulate concentrations 
may cause coughing and eye irritation. If large quantities are ingested, nausea may occur. 
CHRONIC EFFECTS: No information found. 
LISTED CARCINOGENS: None. 
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION 
No data available. 
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION 
WASTE DISPOSAL: Disposal must be at an approved waste disposal facility and in accordance with applicable Federal, State and Local 
laws and regulations. Contact the District Director of the Environmental Protection Agency and/or state regulatory agency for appropriate 
requirements.
