3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (Continued)
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The
most significant routes of occupational overexposure are inhalation and
contact with skin and eyes. The symptoms of overexposure to this
product are described on the following page.
INHALATION: Due to the high vapor pressure of the main component,
formation of mists or sprays of this product are unlikely, unless the
product is heated or used in a manner to produce sprays. If this product
inhaled, fume, mists or sprays can mildly irritate the respiratory system
and cause coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing. Depending on
the concentration and duration of exposure, inhalation overexposure
can cause central nervous system depression, including dizziness,
headache, nausea, fatigue, vomiting and incoordination. Severe
inhalation overexposure (as may occur in a confined space with
inadequate ventilation) may cause unconsciousness and death.
CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Skin contact can cause mild to
moderate irritation, depending on the duration and concentration of
exposure. Symptoms of such overexposure may cause redness and
irritation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product may
cause dermatitis (dry, red, scaly skin). Eye contact with this product
may cause irritation, redness, and watering.
SKIN ABSORPTION: The components of this product are not known to
be absorbed through intact skin.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a significant route of
exposure for any component of this product. If this product is
swallowed, it may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. A significant
hazard associated with ingestion of this product is aspiration; breathing
this material into the lungs can cause severe lung irritation and tissue
damage, which can cause chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema
(life-threatening lung conditions).
INJECTION: Injection of this product (as may occur if skin is punctured by a contaminated object) can cause pain, redness,
and local swelling.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. In the event of overexposure, the
following symptoms may be observed:
ACUTE: Inhalation of fumes, mists or sprays can cause adverse effects on the central nervous system. Severe inhalation
overexposure may cause unconsciousness and death. A significant hazard associated with ingestion of this product is
aspiration; breathing this material into the lungs can cause severe lung irritation and tissue damage, which can cause
chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema (life-threatening lung conditions).
CHRONIC: Repeated skin contact with this product may cause dermatitis (dry, red, scaly skin). See Section 11 (Toxicology
Information) for additional data.
TARGET ORGANS: ACUTE: Skin, eyes, central nervous system. CHRONIC: Skin.
PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Contaminated individuals must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if necessary.
Take a copy of label and MSDS to health professional with the contaminated individual.
SKIN EXPOSURE: If this product contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water and soap.
Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. The
contaminated individual must seek immediate medical attention if any adverse health effect occurs.
EYE EXPOSURE: If this product's liquid or vapors enter the eyes, open the contaminated individual's eyes while under gently
running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have the contaminated individual "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15
minutes.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, remove the contaminated individual to fresh air. If
necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions. Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure to
rescuers. The contaminated individual should seek immediate medical attention.
