11. Toxicological Information
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
ACUTE HAZARDS:
INHALATION: None expected from short term exposures at ambient temperatures. At elevated temperatures, product may
cause respiratory irritation, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, loss of sense of balance and visual disturbances. High
concentrations of vapors at ambient temperatures may cause lung injury, liver dysfunction or kidney damage.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause mild irritation with redness and discomfort. Prolonged contact
may cause defatting or drying of the skin.
EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation with tearing, blurred vision and possible corneal damage.
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause abdominal pain, back pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness,
nausea, visual disturbances, decreased urine production, malaise, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis),
unconsciousness and liver or kidney damage.
