Bradley,
The toxic information on an MSDS can
come from any
source, reliable or imaginary. There is no standard. Too
many MSDS's
are unreliable in that they contain erroneous information, lack
information that
should be presented, or a mixture of the two, or information that is
worded so
poorly as to be misunderstandable.
The moral of this story: Never
trust an
MSDS. Instead trust the supplier of an MSDS. there are a
few, a very
few, suppliers whose MSDS's are excellent: Two come to mind
quickly: Du
Pont and Ashland.
In my book, Improving safety in the
chemical lab: A
practical guide (Wiley, 2nd edition) there is a discussion on
how to
tell if an MSDS is reliable or otherwise.
