Sections. HAZARDSIDENTIHCATION

POTENTIAL HEALra EFFECTS: rZE: Exposure causes eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling. SKIN: Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking, and skin bums. Skin absorption is possible, and may contribute to symptoms of toxicity from other routes of exposure. SWALLOWING: Single dose oral toxicity is moderate. Swallowing may be harmful. INHALATION: Exposure to vapor or mist is possible. Short-term inhalation toxicity is low. Breathing small amounts during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects; breathing large amounts may be harmful. ‘Symptoms are more typically .seen at air concentrations exceeding the recommended exposure limits. SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE; Gastrointestinai irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, respiratory tract), cough, central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), leg cramps, involuntary eye movement, abdominal and low back pain, respiratory depression, blurred vision, shortness of breath, impaired coordination, confusion, irrcgaUar heartbeat, cyanosis (characterized by bluish discoloration of the skin and nails), anesthesia, visual impairment (including blindness), respiratory failure, coma, and death. TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS: This product contains ethanol. Alcoholic beverage consumption has been associated with brain damage, heart damage, and pancreatitis in humans. The relevance of these findings to ethanol exposure in industrial environments is uncertain. Exposure to lethal concentrations of methanol has been shown to cause damage to organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals, and may aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs in humans: testis damage, pancreatic damage, liver damage, central nervous system damage, brain damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has Page 1 of 6
