Ventilation Procedure: Ventilate as needed to comply with exposure limit.
Gloves Protection: Use impervious gloves to avoid repeated/prolonged skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use goggles/face shield to avoid eye contact.

Studies on laboratory animals have associated similar materials with eye and respiratory tract irritation. Repeated exposure to elevated
concentrations of hydrocarbon solvents can produce a variety of transient CNS effects (e.g., dizziness, headache, narcosis, etc). Studies
on laboratory animals have shown similar materials to cause skin irritation after repeated or prolonged contact. Repeated direct
application of similar materials to the skin can produce defatting dermatitis and kidney damage in laboratory animals. The most common
effects observed in repeated dose animal studies with mineral spirits are kidney changes that are consistent with an alpha 2u-globulin-
mediated process that is not regarded as relevant to humans. Certain studies have reported effects in the liver as well as hematological or
urine chemistry changes. In general, these effects have not been shown to be dose-related.
