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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ACETONITRILE: RAT, ORAL, LD50= 3.8 G/KG
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFUR DIOXIDE IS SEVERE PULMONARY
    IRRITANT AND PRIMARY SKIN IRRITANT. ACUTE EXPOSURE CAUSES STRONG
    EYE, NOSE, THROAT IRRITATION, RHIORRHEA, CHOKING, COUGHING,
    BRONCHOCONSTRICTION. ODOR AND TASTE THRE SHOLDS ARE EQUAL TO OR
    LESS THAN PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION
    OCCURS WITHIN THREE TIMES PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. ACUTE:
    INHALATION: SO2: 10 - 20 PPM = IRRITATION; 100 PPM	= DANGEROUS;
    400 PPM = LIFE THREATENING. EYE CONTACT: SO2: IRRITANT. SKIN
    CONTACT: SO2: IRRITANT. INGESTION: SO2: SEVER IRRITANT;
    ACETONITRILE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND HARMFUL
    CNS  EFFECTS. (CONTD. SEE "TOXICOLOGICAL")
Effects of Overexposure:EYE CONTACT: IRRITATION. SKIN CONTACT:
    IRRITATION. INHALATION: IRRITATION, IMPAIRED LUNG FUNCTION OR
    BRONCHITUS, LIVER KIDNEY AND LUNG DAMAGE, LIFE THREATENING.
    INGESTION: IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING , HARMFUL CNS EFFECTS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:N/P.
