Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, SKIN, CNS, BRAIN,
    LIVER, KIDNEY, LUNG. ACUTE- MAY CAUSE EYE & SKIN IRRITATION.
    INGESTION MAY CAUSE VOMITING; ASPIRATION INTO LUNGS MAY CAUSE LUNG
    DAMAGE. INHALATION OF HIGH VAPOR CO NCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE CNS
    DEPRESSION. INTENTIONAL ABUSE MAY CAUSE BRAIN, LIVER, KIDNEY
    DAMAGE. CHRONIC- DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
    VOMITING, MENTAL CONFUSION, FATIGUE, LOSS OF APPETITE, COUGH,
    DEFATTING, DERMATITIS, LABOR BREATHING, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
    DISEASES OF THE EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY TRACT, LIVER, KIDNEYS, CNS
    MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE
    EXPOSURES.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH
    AIR. PROVIDE CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED. EYES:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15
    MINUTES, HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. SKIN:WASH WITH SOAP & WATER. ORAL:DO
    NOT IN DUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS, RINSE MOUTHWITH WATER. SEEK
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF SPONTANEOUS VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD BELOW
    HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION OF VOMITUS INTO LUNGS.

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN TRAVEL
    CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK.
    CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE DUE TO VAPOR PRESSURE BUILDUP.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE SOURCES
    OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. PICK UP SPILL WITH NON-FLAMMABLE
    ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND, EARTH OR EXPLOSION PROOF PUMP. TRANSFER TO

    CLOTHING. AVOID INHALATION OF VAPORS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
    CHILDREN. OBEY HAZARD WARNING LABEL. FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT
    FOR DRUG, FOOD/HOUSEHOLD USE.  USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE SHOULD BE NEEDED IN NORMAL LABORATORY
    HANDLING. IF REQUIRED, WORK IN A FUME HOOD OR WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED
    ORGANIC VAPOR RESPIRATOR. IN EMERGENCY, WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPA RATUS.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST, EXPLOSION-PROOF)
    VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE, BUTYL
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES/CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE WASH FOUNTAIN SHOULD
    BE LOCATED NEARBY. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR RISK OF
    EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
    RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
