Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
OF THE MATERIAL SUGGEST THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid:INGEST:CALL MD IMMED . SKIN:IMMED WARM FROSTBITE AREA W/WARM
WATER (NOT TO EXCEED 105F). IN CASE OF MASSIVE EXPOS, REMOVE CLTHG
WHILE SHOWERING W/WARM WATER. CALL MD. INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
