Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DELIBERATE
INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. VAPOR R EDUCES OXYGEN
AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING AND 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:OVEREXPOSURE BY SKIN OR EYE CONTACT MAY INCLUDE
SKIN IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT OR RASH; OR EYE IRRITATION WITH
DISCOMFORT, TEARING, OR BLURRING OF VISION. CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY
CAUSE FROSTBITE. OVE REXPOSURE BY INHALATION OF THE VAPORS MAY
CAUSE NONSPECIFIC DISCOMFORT SUCH AS NAUSEA, HEADACHE, OR WEAKNESS;
TEMPORARY ALTERATION OF THE HEART'S ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH
IRREGULAR PULSE, PALPITATIONS , OR INADEQUATE CIRCULATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:INHALATION: IMMEDIAT REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSONS CALM.
IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN, CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH
WATER. TR EAT FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
IRRITATION IS PRESENT. EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH
PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: IS NOT C ONSIDERED A POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. NOTES
TO PHYSICIANS: BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DISTURBANCES OF CARDIAC RHYTHM,
CATERCHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD BE USED WITH
SPECIAL CAUTION IN SITU ATIONS OF EMERGENCY LIFE SUPPORT.
