health hazards acute and chronic: inhalation: vapors may be irritating
to respiratory system. Eye contact: irritating to the eyes. Skin
contact: prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause defatting and
drying of the skin. Ingestion: may be harmful if swallowed. Liquid
can directly enter the lungs (aspiration) when swallowed or
vomited. Serious lung damage & possibly fata chemical pneumonia
(chemical oneumonitis) can develop if t his occurs. Other health
effects: may enhance the toxicity of other hydrocarbon solvents.
effects of overexposure: inhalation: breathing of high vapor
concentrations may cause central nervous system (cns) depression in
dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea & loss of
coordination. Continued inhalation may r esult in unconsiousness
and death. Eye contact: a burning sensation, redness, swelling
and/or blurred vision. Skin contact: burning sensation and a dried,
cracked apperance.
First aid: inhalation-move to fresh air. If difficulty breathing or
tightness in chest, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or cpr
as required & transport to nearest medical facility. Skin-flush
exposed area with water followed with soap if available. Eye-flush
with large amounts of water for 15 mins, hold eyelids open. Rest
eyes for 30 mins. If redness, burning or swelling persists, consult
physician. In gestion-do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth out with
water, then drink sips of water to remove taste from mouth. Do not
give liquids to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep
head below hips . Transport to medical facility.
