LD50 LC50 Mixture:LC50 (4-HOUR)-709,000 PPM
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION IS HARMFUL. OVEREXPOSURE TO
THE VAPORS MAY INCLUDE TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH
ANESTHETIC EFFECTS. HIGHER EXPOSURES TO THE VAPORS MAY CAUSE
TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY.
INTENTIONAL MISUSEOR DELIBERATE INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT
WARNING. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING & IS HEAVIER
THAN AIR. LIQUID CONTACT CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE .
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS
MATERIAL AT CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% ARE LISTED
BY IARC, NTP, OSHA OR ACGIH AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE FROM EXPOSURE
TO THE LIQUID. INHALATION MAY INCLUDE NONSPECIFIC DISCOMFORT, SUCH
AS NAUSEA, HEADACHE, OR WEAKNESS OR TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSION WITH ANESTHETI C EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE,
CONFUSION, INCOORDINATION AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PREEXISTING DISEASES
OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, LUNGS OR
KIDNEYS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF
EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:INHALATION-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM, IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN-FLUSH WITH WATER. TREAT FOR
FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY BY GENTLY WARMING AFFECTED AREA. CALL A
PHYSICIAN. EYES-FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CALL A
PHYSICIAN. NOTES TO PHYSICIANS: THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART
MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO A RRTHMIAS. CATECHOLAMINES SUCH AS ADRENALINE,
AND OTHER COMPOUNDS HAVING SIMILAREFFECT, SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR
EMERGENCIES & THEN USED ONLY WITH SPECIAL CAUTION.
