CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN IRRITATION, SKIN BURNS, DERMATITIS, EYE
IRRITATION, EYE BURNS, NOSE/THROAT IRRITATION, INFLAMMATION OF
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, BRONCHITIS, EROSION OF TEETH ENAMEL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION. EYES: WASH THE EYES WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF RUNNING
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH AREA
