Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:BREATHING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS
PRODUCT CAN CAUSE LIGHT HEADEDNESS, GIDDINESS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
POSSIBLE NARCOSIS, POSSIBLE CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS
OR DEATH. LIQUID CONTACT C AN CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN
CAUSE SUFFOCATION BY REDUCING OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE-OVEREXPOSURE
CAN CAUSE CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES.

First Aid:INHALE: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL DR. NOT BREATHING, GIVE
CPR, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. BREATHING DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE/SIMILAR DRUGS. EYE/SKIN: FLUSH W/WATER.
CALL DR. TRE AT FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY. BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE
RISK OF ELICITING CARDIAC DYSRYTHMIAS, CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS
EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED LAST RESORT IN LIFE THREATENING
EMERGENCIES.
