II Health Hazard Data III Hazardous Ingredients
May cause eye irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause
irritation. Vapors or mists may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and
respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to vapor concentrations
above the worker exposure limits may cause central nervous system
depression (e.g. dizziness, weakness, nausea, headaches, unconsciousness,
and/or death). Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs can cause
chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Besides being an aspiration hazard,
ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g. irritation, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea) and central nervous system depression.
Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure
to this product.
FIRST AID
:
EYE CONTACT
: Rinse with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a
doctor.
SKIN CONTACT
: Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, call a
doctor.
INGESTION
: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Immediately call a doctor or
poison control center.
