**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system
effects and/or neurological effects.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause psychic abnormalities such
as anxiety, depression and excitability. Prolonged exposure may
cause mental changes such as hallucinations, depression, psychosis,
and possibly coma. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause CNS
stimulation.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
