contact may produce burns.
Hazardous by the following route of exposure: of eye contact (corrosive). Causes eye burns.
Eyes Personal Protection D
Eye exposure may cause severe and permanent eye injury (blindness).
Inhalation Hazardous by the following route of exposure: of inhalation (lung irritant). Inhalation of the
spray or mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing,
choking or shortness of breath. Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression.
Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness
and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. Medical conditions aggravated by over-
exposure Respiratory
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach.

system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
Repeated or prolonged contact with spray or mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin
irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to spray or mist may produce respiratory tract irritation,
leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Over-exposure by inhalation or absorption can cause
central nervous system depression. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue,
muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
