EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
CAUTION!
OSHA/NFPA COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID - SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITANT - EFFECTS CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM - HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED
Moderate fire hazard. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. May cause
moderate eye irritation and skin irritation (rash). Long-term, repeated exposure may cause skin cancer.
If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).
EYES
Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.
SKIN
May cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic if absorbed following acute
(single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are
repeatedly exposed.
INGESTION
The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liqdW-drops into the
lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe lung
damage, respiratory failure and even death.
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and
central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions.
loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.
INHALATION
Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous
system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness.
coma, respiratory failure, and death.
