=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:DANGER! POISON. MAY BE FATAL IF
    INHALED OR SWALLOWED. INHALATION: HIGH UST EXPOSURE MAY PRODUCE LOW
    BLOOD PRESSURE, SLOW PULSE & RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. EYES:
    CONTACT CAUSES IRRITATION, CORNEAL	BURNS AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO
    RETINA AND OPTIC NERVE. SKIN: PROLONGED CONTACT WITH MOIST SKIN
    CAUSES IRRITATION, AND DERMATITIS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: HIGH DUST EXPOSURE MAY PRODUCE
    SEVERE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BLURRED VISION. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE
    BREATHLESSNESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE AND RESTLESSNESS.

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

First Aid:INHALATION_ REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. NEVER MOUTH TO MOUTH METHOD. REMOVE
