Section 3 - HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects:
Eye contact with the product ingredients may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Direct exposure may cause skin irritation (redness, swelling). A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
In general, overexposure to high atmospheric concentrations of alkyl-substituted aromatics may produce central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, incoordination, nausea and loss of appetite. Aspiration (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung damage due to chemical pneumonia, a condition caused by petroleum-like solvents.
Minute amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death.
Skin contact with Detergent may cause skin sensitization upon extended contact. The compound may cause skin sensitization in susceptible individuals. Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Inhalation may initially include irritation of the upper respiratory passages with coughing and discomfort. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the central nervous system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures to Detergent.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the kidneys or liver may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
Inhalation or ingestion of Heavy Aromatic Naphtha may cause central nervous system depression with anesthetic effects, such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures may result in fatality from gross overexposure. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Aspiration hazard! Small amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung injury, possibly leading to death. Symptoms of aspiration into the lungs include coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish discolored skin, rapid breathing and heart rate. Chemical pneumonitis from aspiration may result in fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma and seizures may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop immediately or as late as 24 hours after the exposure, depending on how much chemical entered the lungs.
Inhalation or ingestion of 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate may initially cause nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness. Exposed workers reported throbbing headaches and heart palpitations. Data to evaluate the skin permeation hazard of this compound are insufficient. There are no reports of human sensitization. No adequate epidemiologic studies are available for this compound.
Carcinogenicity Information
Naphthalene has been classified by the Internal Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This IARC classification was based upon limited evidence of carcinogenicity to animals and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity to humans.
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.
Eye Contact
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
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400-ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult. Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia.

Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas.
Spill Clean-Up
Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material.

Heavy Aromatic Naphtha is a severe skin irritant, and is an eye irritant, but is not a skin sensitizer in animals. Repeated inhalation exposures caused reduced growth rate, respiratory tract irritation, congestion in liver and spleen, changes in blood tests and equilibrium disturbances. No animal test reports are available to define carcinogenic, mutagenic, developmental or reproductive hazards.
The Detergent is a severe skin and eye irritant and is a skin sensitizer in animals. Effects of long term dermal exposures include hyperkeratosis and necrosis of the epidermis but no evidence of increased incidences of tumors. Repeated dietary administration of high doses produced depressed liver weights and body weight loss. Tests in animals demonstrate no carcinogenic activity. No animal test reports are available to define developmental or reproductive hazards. The Detergent does produce genetic damage in bacterial and mammalian cell cultures but has not been tested in animals.
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate is not a skin and eye irritant, but is untested for animal sensitization. Single ingestion exposure produced weight loss, diarrhea, incoordination and prostration. Repeated inhalation exposures produced weight loss and increased liver weight. No animal test reports are available to define carcinogenic, mutagenic, developmental, or reproductive hazards.
