Section 3 - HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects:
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation which may be slow to heal. A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts. Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Repeated minor exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts.
EYE: May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. Vapors may irritate eyes.
Inhalation: A single prolonged excessive inhalation exposure may cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Observations in animals include blood and kidney effects.
INGESTION:
Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be moderate. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger that that may cause injury. One case of Massive Ingestion (i.e. attempted suicide) reported blood (hemolysis) and kidney effects.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT:
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
EYES:
In case of contact immediately, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician
INGESTION:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS
No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on the judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
