All persons not engaged in extinguish- ing the fire should be immediately evacuated from the area. Fires involving Gf should be contained to prevent contamination to uncontrolled areas. When responding to a fire alarm in buildings or areas containing agents, fire- fighting personnel should wear full firefighter protective clothing (without TAP clothing) during chemical agent firefighting and fire rescue operations. Respiratory protection is required. Positive pressure, full facepiece, NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) will be worn where there is danger of oxygen deficiency and when directed by the fire chief or Chemical accident/incident (CAI) operations officer. In cases where fire- fighters are responding to a chemical accident/incident for rescue/ reconnaissance purposes vice firefighting, they will wear appropriatelevels of protective clothing (see Section 6). EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water mist, fog, foam, CO2 - Avoid using extinguishing methods that will cause splashing or spreading of the GF. UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Hydrogen may be present. SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA NOTE: Where detailed data for GF are not available, Health Hazard and information is taken from the MSDS for Agent GB. [AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMIT (AEL): The suggested permissible airborne exposure Concentration for GF for an 8-hour workday of a 40 hour work week is Sh s-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.0001 mg/m3. This value is based én the TWA of GB which can be found in "AR 40-8, Occupational Health Guide- {ines for the Evaluation and Control of Occupational Exposure to Nerve Agents GA, GB, GD, and VX". To date, however, the Occupational Safety and Health administration (OSHA) has not’ promulgated a permissible exposure concentration for GF. GF presently is not listed by the International Agency for Research _on Can- cer (IARC), National Toxicology Program (NTP), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or American Conference of Governmental Indus- trial Hygienists (ACGIH) as a carcinogen EFFECTS OF overexposus (** ) GF is a lethal anticholinergic agent. Doses which are potentially life- threatening may be only slightly larger than those producing minimal effects. Symptoms of overexposure may occur within minutes or hours--depending upon dose. They include: miosis (constriction of pupils) and visual effects, headache and pressure sensation, runny nose and nasal congestion, saliva- tion, tightness in the chest, nausea, vomiting, giddiness, anxiety, diffi- culty in thinking, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, muscle twitches, tremors, weakness, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, involuntary urination and defecation. With severe exposure symptoms progress to convulsions and respiratory failure. Gs) Information is a trade secret/Confidential and can be obtained from the Mufacturer at the address listed above. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION: Hold breath until respiratory protective mask is donned. Tf severe signs of agent exposure appear (chest tightens, pupil constriction, incoordination, etc.), immediately administer, in rapid succession, all three Nerve Agent Antidoet Kit(s), Mark I injectors (or atropine if Girected by the local physician). Injections using the Mark I kit injec- tors may be repeated at 5 to 20 minute intervals if signs and symptoms are progressing until three series of injections have been administered. No hore injections will be given unless directed by medical personnel. In Badition, a record will be maintained of all injections given. If breathing
