Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: IRRITATION, REDNESS, TEARING.
INHALATION: NASAL & RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INGESTION:
GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, & DIARRHEA.
ASPIRATION OF MATERIAL INTO LUNGS DUE TO VOMITING CAN CAUSE
CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS WHICH CAN BE FATAL. SKIN: ABSORPTION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: MODERATE IRRITATION, DEFATTING, &
DERMATITIS. INHALATION: CNS EFFECTS INCLUDING DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS,
FATIGUE, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, POSSIBLE UNCONSCIOUSNESS, & EVEN DEATH.
INGESTION: CARDIAC & LIVER ABNORMALITIES.

First Aid:SKIN: THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED AREA W/SOAP & WATER. EYES:
FLUSH W/LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING.
ASPIRATION HAZARD. KEEP PERSON WARM, QUIET. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP WARM & QUIET. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
