Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHRONIC:IN MOUSE STUDIES, PROLONGED
AND REPEATED DERMAL EXPOSURE PRODUCED MARKED SKIN
IRRITATION/DERMATITIS FOLLOWED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKIN TUMOR.
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY BE IRRITATING TO EYES AND
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND ACT AS AN ANESTHETIC.ASPIRATION OF THE
LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS DIRECTLY OR A RESULT OF VOMITING FOLLOWING
INGESTION OF THE LIQUID, CAN CAUSE SEVER LUNG DAMAGE AND DEATH.
VAPOR IS IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANE, MAY CAUSE HEADACHES AND
DIZZINESS AND OTHER CNS EFFECTS. MIST OF FUMES MAY BE IRRITATING TO
EYES, NOSE, THORAT AND LUNGS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION:NEGLIGIBLE HAZARD AT AMBIENT/NORMAL
HANDLING TEMP.IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS AND/OR ELEVATED TEMPERATURES,
VAPOR/MIST IS IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES, MAY CAUSE HEADACHES
AND DIZZINESS, MAY B E ANESTHETIC AND MAY CAUSE OTHER CNS EFFECTS.
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES AND/OR MECHANICAL ACTION MAY FORM VAPOURS,
MISTS, OR FUMES WHICH MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES,NOSE,THROAT AND
LUNGS.AVOID BREATHING VAPORS,MIST,FUMES. SKIN/INGESTION: LOW ORDER
OF ACUTE TOXICITY. EYE:IRRITATING.ASPIRATION OF LIQUID INTO THE
LUNGS AS ARESULT OF INGESTION OR VOMITING CAN CAUSE SEVERE LUNG
DAMAGE AND DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO DATA PROVIDE BY MANUFACTURER

First Aid:INHALTAION: IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS USE PROPER RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION TO IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE AFFECTED VICTIM FROM EXPOSURE.
ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED. KEEP AT
REST. CALL FOR PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER; USE SOAP IF AVAILABLE. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE:
RINSE IMMEDIA TELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER UNTIL IRRITATION SUBSIDES.
IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ADVICE. INGESTION: DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING SINCE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NO AMOUNT OF THE
MATERIALS SHOULD ENTER THE LUNGS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
