LARYNX AND BRONCHI, CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE BURNING SENSATION, COUGHING,
WHEEZING, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND
VOMITING.
EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE:
STOMACH PAINS, VOMITING, DIARRHEA.
MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.
MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED.
TOXIC IF SWALLOWED.
MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTION.
