Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION OF MIST OR VAPOR MAY
CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION OR AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS,
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION. INGESTION MAY R ESULT IN ASPIRATION WHICH CAUSES
LUNG DAMAGE. CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
DERMATITIS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITATION,
POLYEMIA, LEUKOCYTOSIS, TRACHEITIS, BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONIA, MALAISE.
SKIN CONTACT: DEFATTING AND DERMATITIS. INGESTION: LOCAL IRRITATION
WITH A BURNING SENSATION IN THE MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH,
VOMITING, BELCHING, AND DIARRHEA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREEXISTING SKIN AND RESPIRATORY
DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.
