Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:VAPORS MAY BE IRRITATING TO SKIN,
EYES, NOSE & THROAT. LIQUID MAY BE IRRITATIONG TO SKIN AND EYES.
PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY RESULT IN DERMATITIS. EYE CONTACT MAY
RESULT IN TEMPORARY CORNEAL DAMAGE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE MAY
INCLUDE KIDNEY/LIVER DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS CHEMICAL IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA AS A SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED CARCINOGEN. (MAY CONTAIN
TRACE BENZENE)
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS, SUFFOCATION, LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE,
AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) DEPRESSION. INGESTION MAY CAUSE
NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHES, D IZZINESS, GASTROINTESTINAL
IRRITATION AND CNS DEPRESSION. VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN &
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH CHRONIC RESPIRATORY
DISEASE, SKIN DISORDERS AND EYE DISORDERS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK
FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER FOR 15 MINU TES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH WITH
WATER. INGESTION: GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO DRINK ONLY IF
