Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
VAPOR MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. VAPOR CAUSES
IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. EYE: CAUSES IRRITATION.
CORNEAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. SKIN: MAY CAUS E MINOR IRRITATION.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DEFATTING. SKIN: EXPOSURE
TO SMALL QUANTITIES IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH
EFFECTS. WIDESPREAD OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY RESULT I N THE
ABSORPTION OF HARMFUL AMOUNTS OF MATERIAL, PARTICULARLY IN INFANTS,
LEADING TO SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED FOR SWALLOWING.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS CHEMICAL IS NOT LISTED AS HAVING
ANY EVIDENCE OF BEING CARCINOGENIC.
Effects of Overexposure:NHALATION: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY
CAUSE WEAKNESS, DROWSINESS, AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. VAPOR
CAUSES COUGHING AND CHEST DISCOMFORT. EYE: CAUSES STINGING AND
DISCOMFORT OR PAIN. SKIN: MAY CAUSE ITCHING AND POSSIBLE SLIGHT
LOCAL REDNESS. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING OF
THE SKIN. SKIN: ABSORPTION OF HARMFUL AMOUNTS OF MATERIAL,
PARTICULARLY IN INFANTS, LEADS TO SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED FOR
SWALLOWING. SWALLOWING: MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS, FAINTNESS, DROWSINESS,
DECREASED AWARENESS & RESPONSIVENESS, LACK OF COORDINATION,
ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT, NAUSEA, ETC.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN
EXISTING DERMITITIS.
