Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALTION: VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION TO
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE
HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, CNS DEPRESSION. EYE: CONTACT WITH
LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES IRRITATI ON. PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURE
TO THE VAPOR MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. SKIN: PROLONGED OR
REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DRYING AND CRACKING OF THE SKIN, WHICH
RESULTS IN SKIN IRRITATION AND DERMITIT IS. INGESTION: HARMFUL IF
SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, HEADACHE,
DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA.
