3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
鈥? Potential Health Effects:
Eye: Acute and chronic exposure - No effects reported in humans.
Skin: Acute and chronic exposure - No effects reported in humans.
Inhalation: Acute exposure - No demonstrated health effects. Worst-case (aspiration) may cause lipoid
pneumonitis.
Chronic exposure- No demonstrated health effects. Repeated or prolonged exposure to very
high levels may cause lipoid pneumonitis. Persons with a history of chronic
respiratory disease may be at increased risk from severe exposure.
Ingestion - Acute exposure- Large quantities may have a laxative effect.
Chronic exposure- No known adverse health effects.
鈥? Physical/Chemical Hazards: Not identified.
鈥? Environmental Hazards: Not identified.
