SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
ROUTES OF ENTRY: INHALATION, INGESTION, SKIN, AND EYES
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: EYE IRRITATION MAY OCCUR WITH EXPOSURE TO CONCENTRATED VAPORS OR CONTACT WITH PRODUCT
SKIN: REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT CAN CAUSE REDNESS, IRRITATION, AND SCALING OF THE SKIN (DERMATITIS).
NORMAL CARE AND PERSONAL HYGIENE SHOULD PREVENT SKIN EFFECTS.
INGESTION: INGESTION MAY CAUSE VOMITING, HEADACHE, AND OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
INHALATION: INHALATION CAN CAUSE NOSE, THROAT, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
HIGH VAPOR MIST OR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS, HEADACHES, AND NASAL IRRITATION.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS: COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID, ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PRODUCT ARE GRAS (GENERALLY REGARDED AS
SAFE). HOWEVER, THIS PRODUCT MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED IN SUFFICIENT VOLUME. INGESTION MAY CAUSE
VOMITING, HEADACHE, AND OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS. THIS PRODUCT MAY BE IRRITATING TO SKIN AND EYES. INHALATION
CAN CAUSE NOSE, THROAT AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, COUCHING AND HEADACHE. EXTREMELY OLD OR
IMPROPERLY STORED PRODUCT MAY BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE POTENTIALLY SENSITIZING BREAK-DOWN PRODUCTS.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS: PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE DRYING DEFATTING AND DERMATITIS OF
SKIN.
