Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
TRACT. ACUTE- EYE:MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN:MAY CAUSE DRYING,
CRACKING AND IRRITATION. INHALATION:HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION AND DROWSINESS. O RAL:EXPECTED TO BE A LOW
INGESTION HAZARD. CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.

Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, DROWSINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
HEADACHE, DRY SKIN
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
DISEASES OF THE EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY HAVE INCREASED
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYES:FLUSH WITH
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. IF EASY TO DO, REMOVE
CONTACT LENSES. SKIN:WASH WITH SOAP & WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
