EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Caution! May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this material
have not been fully investigated. May cause eye and skin irritation. May be harmful
if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.

Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. Naphthalene is an eye irritant. The vapor causes eye irritation at 15 ppm.
Eye contact with the solid material may result in conjunctivitis, superficial injury to the cornea, diminished
visual acuity, and other effects. It may cause cataracts.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. The toxicological properties
of this material have not been fully investigated.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated.
Chronic: Chronic inhalation, skin absorption or ingestion of naphthalene have caused severe hemolytic
anemia.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Extinguishing Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate
foam.

immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
