V. HEALTH HAZARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE
INTACT. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good
practice, avoid prolonged or frequent exposure to broken lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major
hazard from broken lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
Phosphor
There have been no significant adverse effects on humans by ingestion, inhalation, skin
contact, or eye contact. Antimony, manganese, yttrium and tin compounds are characterized
by OSHA as hazardous chemicals, however, due to their insolubility, relatively low toxicity
and small amount present in the phosphor and lamp, these materials do not present a
significant hazard in the even of breakage of the lamp
Glass
Glass dust is considered to be physiologically inert and as such has an OSHA exposure limit
of 15-mg/cubic meter for total dust and 5-mg/cubic meter for respirable dust. Perform
normal first aid procedures. Seek medical attention as required.
Inhalation
If discomfort, irritation or symptoms of pulmonary involvement should develop, remove
from exposure and seek medical attention.
Ingestion
In the unlikely event of ingestion of large quantity of material, seek medical attention.
Contact
Eye/Skin
Wash eyes/skin, including under eyelids, immediately with copious amounts of water and
seek medical attention.

disposed of by applicable federal, state and local regulations.
