Routes of entry  : Inhalation, Eyes & Skin

                 :

Effects of       : Moderate concentration in air causes drowsiness, dizziness, unconsciousness. Contact with liquified

Exposure/        : propylene will cause freezing burns. It is a simple asphyxiant and mild anesthetic at high concentrations.

Symptoms         :

                 :

Emergency       :   Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air area. If breathing is irregular or stopped start resuscitation,

Treatment       :   give oxygen. Eyes and Skin : Flush the affected area with plenty of water. Seek medical aid immediately.
