Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHLOROFLUOROCARBON (CFC) MATERIALS
HAVE PRODUCED SENSITIZATION OF THE MYOCARDIUM TO EPINEPHRINE IN LAB
ANIMALS AND COULD HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT IN HUMANS. THE USE OF
EPINEPHRINE MAY BE CONTR-INDICATED EXCEPT FOR LIFE SUSTAINING USES
IN HUMANS ACUTELY OR CHRONICALLY EXPOSED TO CFCS . INHALATION: AT
LOW LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION, INITIAL SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE HEADACHE,
DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, LOSS OF CO NCENTRATION, AND IRRITATION. WITH
HIGH EXPOSURE LEVELS: INTOXICATION, CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA. PRODUCT
VAPORS DISPLACE AIR & CAN CAUSE ASPHYXIATION, ESPECIALLY IN
CONFINED SPACES. SKIN:DEFATTING OF SKIN C AN CAUSE IRRITATION.
(SIGNS & SYMPTOMS)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS IN THIS PRODUCT
ARE LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY IARC, NTP, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS (CONT'D): NO ABSORPTION TOXICITY
DATA IS AVAILABLE. EYE: IRRITANT:LIQUID CONTACT MAY IRRITATE EYES &
MAY CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS. ORAL: SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS FOR INHALATION.
DISCOMFORT DUE T O VOLATILITY WOULD BE EXPECTED. ALSO, IN
SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES, CAN CAUSE EYE DAMAGE INCL BLINDNESS, DUE TO
METHANOL COMPONENT. FIRST AID (CONT): WATER AND TOUCHING FINGER TO
BACK OF THROAT OR REMOVE CHEMICAL BY GASTRIC LAVAGE. DO NOT GIVE
STIMULANTS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSIOUS PERSON. TAKE IMMEDIATELY TO HOSPITAL OR
PHYSICIAN. NOTE TO PHYSICIA N: BECAUSE OF(MED CONDITION AGGRAVATED)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:N/P. FIRST AID (CONT'D): POSSIBLE
DISTURBANCES OF CARDIAC RHYTHM, CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS
EPINEPHRINE, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY AS A LAST RESORT IN
LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCIES.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE PATIENT TO FRESH AIR. GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
RESUSCITATION IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED. GIVE OXYGEN AS NECESSARY IF
A QUALIFIED OPERTOR IS AVAILABLE. DO NOT GIVE ADRENALIN
(EPINEPHRINE). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. EYES: FLUSH WITH
LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING EYELIDS
OCCASIONALLY, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF THE CHEMICAL REMAINS. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN : WASH PROMPTLY WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES, WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. ORAL: IF CONSCIOUS, INDUCE
VOMITING IMMEDIATELY BY GIVIN G 2 TO 4 GLASSES OF (SIGNS & SYMPS)
