SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD/TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
=================================================================================
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYES: Contact with eyes can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision, and/or swelling.
May cause eye damage.
SKIN: Contact with skin can cause irritation, (minor itching, burning and/or redness), Dermatitis,
defatting may be readily absorbed through the skin.
INHALATION: Inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness and/or asphyxiation. Aspiration of material into
lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.

Overexposure to this material has apparently been known to cause the following effects in lab animals:
Eye damage, skin damage.
CARCINOGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
TERATOGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
MUTAGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Skin, inhalation
FIRST AID:
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove victim from exposure to a well-ventilated area. Make them
comfortably warm, but not hot. Use oxygen or artificial respiration as required. Consult a physician.
SKIN: For skin contact, wash promptly with soap and excess water.
EYES: For eye contact, flush promptly with excess water for at least fifteen minutes. Consult a physician.
