Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SENSATION IN DIGESTIVE TRACT.
    CHRONIC: PRLNGD/RPTD SKIN CONTACT CAN RESULT IN RASH. BREATHING
    VAPORS CAN RESULT IN HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA & IRRITATION OF
    MUCOUS MEMBRANES. SMOKE DURING  SOLDERING WILL CONTAIN ROSIN WHICH
    IS ALLERGEN & CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION & DAMAGE.

    ALLERGEN & CAN AFFECT LIVER & CNS.

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

First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FURTHER TREATMENT, OBSERVATION
    AND SUPPORT IF NEEDED. EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
    LEAST 15 MINUTES AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. REMOVE ROSIN FROM
    AROUND EYES  WITH DILUTE ETHANOL SOLUTION. SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY
    WITH SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR.

Other Precautions:CAUTION: EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN PRODUCT
    RESIDUE. OBSERVE ALL LABEL PRECAUTIONS.

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

Respiratory Protection:WHEN VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE
    FUMES FROM BREATHING ZONE, A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE
    WORN.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQ EXHST VENT (GEN &/OR LOCAL) IF NEC TO MEET
    EXPOS REQS. LOC EXHST VENT IS PREFERRED TO MINIMIZE (SUPDAT)
