SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA  
Not applicable to the intact lamp. Breakage of the lamp may result in some exposure to the  
phosphor powder dust and to a very little amount of elemental mercury vapor. No adverse  
affects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps, but as a matter of good practice,  
prolonged or frequent exposure should be avoided through the use of adequate ventilation during  
disposal of large quantities of lamps.  
EMERGENCY FIRST AID: NORMAL FIRST AID PROCEDURE FOR GLASS CUTS IF  
SUCH OCCUR THROUGH LAMP BREAKAGE.  
SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE  
Normal precautions should be taken for the collection of broken glass.  
Waste Disposal Method: At the end of rated life, when this lamp is removed from service, it will  
be subjected to the current Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) prescribed by the  
Environmental Protection Agency. This test is used to determining whether an item is a  
hazardous waste or a non-hazardous waste under current E. P. A. definition. Philips Lighting will  
provide the test data on request. This result will allow the generator to evaluate all of the  
disposal options, which may be available in the particular state in which the generator’s facility  
is located. The generator should check with federal, state and local officials for their guidance. In  
most states ALTO lamps are considered non-hazardous subtitle D waste. Philips encourages  
recycling of its products by qualified recyclers.  
SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES  
Respiratory Protection: Appropriate dust mask should be used if large quantities of lamps are  
being broken for disposal.  
Ventilation: Avoid inhalation of any airborne dust. Provide local exhaust when disposing of  
large quantities of lamps.  
Hand and Eye Protection: Appropriate hand and eye protection should be worn when  
disposing of large quantities of lamps or handling broken lamps.

packaging are not regulated by air, truck or ocean shipment. As a waste, spent ALTO fluorescent  
lamps maybe regulated in various states and local communities. This material safety data sheet  
does not constitute “knowledge of the waste”, in certain jurisdictions. TCLP data will be  
furnished upon request.
