Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: BASED ON TOXICITY OF SIMILAR
PRODUCT, BASE OILS ARE NOT SKIN IRRITANTS. HOWEVER, PROLONGED OR
REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION CHARACTERIZED BY
DERMATITIS OR OIL ACNE FOR SENSITIVE IND IVIDUALS. INHALATION: DUE
TO LOW VOLATILTY, INHALATION IS NOT LIKELY. HOWEVER, PROLONGED OR
REPEATED INHALATION OF EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF MISTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, OIL DEPOSITS IN THE LUNG MAY
LEAD TO FIBROSIS AND REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTION. INGESTION:
INGESTION IS UNLIKELY, HOWEVER IT MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. (SEE
OTHER INFORMATION).
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO STUDIES ERE FOUND.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: BASED ON TOXICITY OF SIMILAR PRODUCT,
