POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, Ingestion

ACUTE EFFECTS: Material causes skin, eye, respiratory irritation, drowsiness and chemical pneumonia.Symptoms include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.Ingestion results in low oral toxicity as long as aspiration, (breathing liquid into the lungs) is avoided.Symptoms of aspiration include, severe irritation, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema.Also, CNS depression, dizziness, confusion and loss of consciousness may occur.Skin contact may cause drying or defatting of the skin.

CHRONIC EFFECTS: None known

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: None known

OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPORSURE: None

CARCINOGENICITY (US ONLY):
    NTP - No
    IARC MONOGRAPHS - No
    OSHA REGULATED - NO
4. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: Immediately remove victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.

SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 8 to 10 oz. (240 to 300 ml.) of water to dilute material in stomach. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration to the victim.

IN EVENT OF EXPOSURE, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: None
