Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR
AND CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR
BREATHING. BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY CAUSE
LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF B REATH, AND MAY LEAD TO
NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, ULNCONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH.
SKIN/EYE: LIQUID CAN DEFAT TISSUE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:DATA PER MSDS
Effects of Overexposure:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY
CAUSE LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND MAY
LEAD TO NARCOSIS, CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH.
LIQUID IS NOT CORROSIVE O R AN IRRITANT, BUT CAN CAUSE DEFATTING OF
TISSUE.

DEFATTING AGENT AND CAN CAUSE DERMATITIS ON PROLONGED EXPOSURE.
PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN DISORDERS MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
THE EFFECTS OF THIS AGENT.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR DRUGS. EYE: FLUSH
WITH WATER . SKIN: FLUSH WITH WATER. IF IRRITATIONPRESISTS, GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. ORAL: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
