DIGESTIVE TRACT. CHRONIC:PRLNGD/RPTD SKIN CONT CAN RSLT IN RASH.
BRTHG VAP CAN RSLT (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:IN HDCH, DIZZ, NARCOS & IRRIT OF MUC
MEMB. SMOKE DURING SOLDERING WILL CONTAIN ROSIN WHICH IS AN
ALLERGEN & CAN CAUSE RESP IRRIT & DAMAGE. PRIMARY EXPOSURE DURING
SOLDERING IS TO EVAPORATED A LCOHOL SOLVENT WHICH MAY CONTAIN
DROPLETS OF ROSIN AND/OR ORGANIC DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.
