===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET EFFECTS: SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT.
INHALATION-SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT. IN SUDDEN ACUTE ASPHYXIA,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS MAY BE IMMEDIATE. SKIN-THE LIQUID MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE. IN MORE SEVERE CASES THE SKIN MAY BECO ME HARD & WHITE &
DEVELOP BLISTERS. EYE-MAY CAUSE IRRITATION IF SPRAYED INTO EYES.
THE LIQUID MAY CAUSE FROSTBITE. INGESTION-IF LIQUID IS SWALLOWED,
FROSTBITE DAMAGE OF THE LIPS, MOUTH & MUCOUS MEMBRA NES MAY OCCUR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-RAPID RESPIRATION & PULSE, AIR,
HUNGER, DIZZINESS, REDUCED AWARENESS,TIGHTNESS IN THE HEAD,
TINGLING SENSATIONS, INCOORDINATION, FAULTY JUDGEMENT, EMOTIONAL
INSTABILITY, & RAPID FATIGUE. NA USEA, VOMITING, COLLAPSE,
