PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Fire and Explosion Hazards

Flammability:
Use extinguishing agents suitable for surrounding fire. Special Firefighting Procedure: Use a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of dust and/or fumes that may be generated from broken lamps during When exposed to high temperature, toxic fumes may be released Health Hazard

A) Operating Lamps

WARNING:
This lamp emits ultraviolet (UV) power during operation. Certain medications and
chemicals can increase an individual's sensitivity to UV. Consult your physician for
specific information. Protective eyewear should be worn in occupational situations
involving long-term exposure in close proximity to the lamps. Lamp model "F6T5/BL350"
is RG-1, all other models are RG-2 per ANSI/IESNA RP-27.3-96.

B) Lamp Materials
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FORM 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.
Mercury – contact, inhalation or ingestion may cause one or more of the following symptoms:
eye irritation, skin irritation, cough, chest pain, dyspnea, bronchitis, pneumonitis, tremor,
insomnia, irritability, indecision, headache, fatigue, weakness, stomatitis, salivation,
GI tract disturbance, anorexia, weight loss and proteinuria.

Lead – contact, ingestion or inhalation may cause one or more of the following symptoms:
weakness, lassitude, insomnia, facial palor, pal eye, anorexia, weight loss, malnutrition,
constipation, abdominal pain, colic, anemia, gingival lead line, tremor, wrist paralysis,
ankles paralysis, encephalopathy, kidney disease, eye irritation and hypotension.
Glass – Glass dust is considered to physiologically inert.
Phosphor – Inhalation of insoluble barium compounds has been reported to cause benign
pneumoconiosis with no specific symptoms and no changes in pulmonary functions.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Glass Cuts:
Perform normal first aid procedures. Seek medical attention as required.

Inhalation:
If discomfort, irritation or symptoms of pulmonary involvement develop, remove from exposure and
seek medical attention.

Ingestion:
In the unlikely event of ingestion of a large quantity of material, seek medical attention.

Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

Contact Eye:
Wash eyes, including under eyelids, immediately with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention.

PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF LAMPS

SLI recommends that all mercury-containing lamps be recycled.
If lamps are broken, ventilate area where breakage occurred. Clean-up with mercury vacuum cleaner or
other suitable means that avoids dust and mercury vapor generation. Take usual precautions for
collection of broken glass. Clean-up requires special care due to mercury droplet proliferation. Place
materials in closed containers to avoid generating dust.
VIII. SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION FOR BROKEN LAMPS

Ventilation: Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the PEL or TLV limits. If such ventilation is unavailable, use respirators as specified below. Respiratory Protection: Use appropriate approved respirator if airborne dust concentrations exceed the pertinent PEL or TLV limits. Eye Protection: Safety glasses, goggles or face shield are recommended if lamps are being broken. Protective Clothing: Cut and puncture resistant gloves are recommended for dealing with broken lamps. Hygienic Practices: After handling broken lamps, wash hands and face thoroughly before eating, smoking or handling tobacco products, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities. Although SLI Lichtsysteme attempts to provide current and accurate information herein, it makes no representations regarding the accuracy or completeness of the information and assumes no liability for any loss, damage or injury of any kind which may result from, or arise out of, the use of/or reliance on the information by any person.
