Hazard Statements: May cause mild skin or eye irritation in sensitive individuals
Precautionary Statements: Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure; maintain good industrial hygiene
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), skin and eye contact, ingestion
Symptoms: Mild redness, irritation, or discomfort may occur
Label Elements: None required under GHS for pure phospholipid
Chemical Ingredients: Phosphatidylcholine (>60%), minor amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine
Purity: Ranges from 60% to 98% (varies with manufacturing process)
Impurities: Residual solvents, trace triglycerides, fatty acids
Additives: None in pure form
Molecular Formula: C42H82NO8P (typical for phosphatidylcholine type)
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses when easy; get medical attention for persistent irritation
Skin Contact: Wash gently with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek attention if symptoms persist
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing if exposed to dust; consult a physician for respiratory symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water to dilute; do not induce vomiting; seek medical advice for discomfort
Notes for Doctor: Treat symptomatically based on patient’s condition
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray (fog), dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets may spread material
Hazards from Fire: Dense smoke, fumes of phosphorus oxides, carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Cool surrounding areas with water spray; prevent runoff from entering waterways
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves and safety glasses to avoid contact; use dust mask if powder is present
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow large amounts to enter drains or surface water
Spill Clean-up Methods: Sweep up solids carefully, avoid creating dust, transfer to containers for disposal; wash area with soap and water
Disposal: Follow regulations for disposal; contain and collect spills for proper treatment
Handling: Minimize dust generation, avoid direct contact, ensure adequate ventilation; wash hands after handling
Storage: Store tightly sealed in cool, dry locations; keep away from direct sun, strong oxidizers, intense moisture
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents
Storage Life: Usually stable for 1-2 years under recommended conditions
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation when handling powders; maintain workplace cleanliness
Personal Protection: Safety glasses or goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved dust mask in case of airborne particles
Exposure Limits: No specific TLV or OEL for phospholipids

Other Effects: No mutagenic or reproductive toxicity data suggests significant risk
Environmental Effects: Biodegradable, low bioaccumulation risk
Aquatic Toxicity: Not considered toxic at concentrations likely in spills
Persistence: Rapidly breaks down in soil and water via microbial activity
Mobility in Soil: Low due to high molecular weight, adherence to particles
Other Adverse Effects: No significant long-term environmental impact anticipated
