**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Irritating to eyes. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Very
toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.Possible risk of irreversible effects.The
toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
