Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HEALTH HAZARDS: ACUTE: IRRITATION,
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANT, ANESTHETIC AND NARCOTIC EFFECTS,
ASPIRATION MAY LEAD TO PULMONARY EDEMA. A SINGLE BRIEF INHALATION
AT HIGH CONCENTRATION MAY BE LE THAL. CHRONIC: DERMATITIS, LIVER
AND KIDNEY DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NTP, ANTICIPATED CARCINOGEN. IARC, 2B,
SUPECTED CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: SLIGHT IRRITATION, PAIN. SKIN: PROLONGED
CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, EVEN BURN, DERMATITIS. INHALATION:
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, LOSS OF
COORDINATION AND EQUI LIBRIUM, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH.
INGESTION: IRRITATION OF MOUTH AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT,
VOMITING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF SKIN
AND RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

MINUTES. INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN/CPR IF
NEEDED. SEE DOCTOR. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEE DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: BECAUSE RAPID ABSORPTION MAY
OCCUR THROUGH LUNGS IF ASPIRATED AND CAUSE SYSTEMIC EFFECTS, THE
DECISION TO INDUCE VOMITING OR NOT SHOULD BE MADE BY A PHYSICIAN.
