Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT PROVIDED
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION AND BURNING OF EXPOSED TISSUES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED INHLATION OF MISTS.

First Aid:SKIN/EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK LARGE
