Section 3. Hazards Identification
Acute Effects Routes of EntryEye contact. Skin contact Inhalation. Ingestion.
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Non-sensitizer for skin. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching,
scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Liquid in eye may cause irritation with possible damage if not rinsed
immediately. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Prolonged exposure may cause narcotic effect. Can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, nausea, and blurred
vision.
Ingestion Extremely hazardous in case of ingestion. Toxic if swallowed. May be fatal if swallowed. If ingested, call a
physician or Poison Control Center immediately.
Chronic Effects The substance may be toxic to kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, liver. Repeated
or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Prolonged or repeated
contact may dry skin and cause irritation. Inhalation and ingestion may cause drowsiness, dizziness,
incoordination and other effects of intoxication. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may
produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Additional information : See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
Inhalation
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion If ingested, call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention
immediately.
