Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: PRODUCES IRRITATION, BURNING
SENSATION, INFLAMMATION, POSSIBLE CORNEAL INJURY. SKIN: IRRITATION.
PROLONGED/REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS, MAY BE ABSORBED
THROUGH THE SKIN. INGESTION: MAY BE FATAL/CAUSE BLINDNESS IF
SWALLOWED. IRRITATION OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. MAY CAUSE SYSTEMIC
TOXICITY W/ACIDOSIS. MAY CAUSE LIVER & KIDNEY DAMAGE. CNS
DEPRESSION. POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO RESPIRATORY FA ILURE. INHALATION:
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITANT. MAY CAUSE SIMILAR EFFECTS TO THOSE OF
INGESTION.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, BURNING SENSATION, REDNESS,
TEARING, INFLAMMATION, EXCITEMENT, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS,
NAUSEA, COLLAPSE, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA, RESPIRATORY FAILURE,
SYSTEMIC EFFECTS
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINS. SKIN: FLUSH
W/PLENTY OF SOAP & WATER. INGESTION: IF CONSCIOUS & ALERT, GIVE 2-4
CUPFULS OF MILK/WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH IF UNCONSCIOUS.
INDUCE VO MITING BY GIVING ONE TEASPOON OF SYRUP OF IPECAC.
INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: TREAT
SYMPTOMATICALLY & SUPPORIT IVELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
