health hazards acute and chronic: target organs: eye, skin, central
nervous system, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Acute -
inhalation causes nose and throat irritation. Causes central
nervous system depression. Liquid and va pors are irritating to
eyes. Can result in severe eye irritation and severe injury. Skin
contact can cause moderate injury (reddening and swelling).
prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in dr ying of skin,
also dermatitis. Ingestion may cause mental slugguishness. Chronic
- dermatitis.
explanation of carcinogenicity: none
effects of overexposure: severe irritation, headache, dizziness, nausea,
vomiting, drowsiness, coma, eye redness, tearning, blurred vision,
skin cracking, defatting, drying, dermatitis, unconsciousness,
general weakness, fat igue, diarrhea
medical cond aggravated by exposure: persons with pre-existing skin
disorders, eye problems or impaired central nervous system,
peripheral nervous system or respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of this product.
First aid: get medical help if symptoms persist. Inhalation: remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, provide resuscitation. If
breathing is difficult, provide oxygen. Contact physician
immediately. Eye con tact: immediately flush with water for at
least15 minutes. Hold eyelids open. Get medical attention
immediately. Skin: wash with soap and plenty of water. Ingestion:
do not induce vomiting. If patient is fully conscious, immediately
drink a large quantity of water. Seek medical attention
immediately. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

health hazards acute and chronic: eye contact: severely irritating. If
not removed promptly, will injure eye tissue, which may result in
permanent damage. Skin contact: frequent or prolonged contact may
irritate and cause dermatitis. low order of toxicity. Inhalation:
vapor concentrations above recommended exposure levels are
irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, are anesthetic
and may have other central nervous syste m effects. Ingestion: low
order of toxicity. Small amounts of the liquid aspirated into the
respiratory system during ingestion, or from vomiting, may cause
bronchiopneumonia or pulmonary edema. Chron ic- no evidence of
neurotoxic effects.
explanation of carcinogenicity: no ingredient of a concentration of 0.1%
or greater is listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen.
effects of overexposure: inhaled: headaches, dizziness, anesthetic. Eyes:
redness, pain, tearing. Skin: redness, swelling, itching,
discomfort.
medical cond aggravated by exposure: none specified by manufacturer.
First aid: eye contact: immediately flush eyes with large amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention. Skin
contact: immediately flush with large amounts of water; use soap if
availabl e. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, after
flushing has begun. Inhalation: using proper respiratory
protection, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure.
administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at
rest. Call for prompt medical attention. Ingestion: if swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.
