SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation: Vapors or mists may cause mucous membrane and respiratory
irritation, coughing, headache, dizziness, dullness, nausea,
shortness of breath and vomiting. High concentrations may cause
central nervous system depression, narcosis and unconsciousness.
May cause kidney, liver and lung damage.
Skin: May cause irritation with redness, itching and pain. Methyl
ethyl ketone may be absorbed through the skin
causing effects similar to those listed under inhalation.
Eye: Vapors may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation
with redness, stinging and tearing of the eyes. May cause eye
damage.
Ingestion: Swallowing may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Aspiration during swallowing or vomiting can cause
chemical pneumonia and lung damage. May cause kidney and liver
damage.
Chronic Prolonged or repeated overexposure cause dermatitis and damage
Toxicity: to the kidney, liver, lungs and central nervous system.
