3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (Continued)
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: Since the
fluid in these vials is sealed, exposure via all routes is unlikely. If the vials
are cracked or broken, health hazards are minimal due to the small quantity
of liquid in each vial (1.4-2.9) mL. In event of exposure to a large quantity
of liquid, the most significant routes of exposure are inhalation and contact
with skin and eyes. The symptoms of overexposure to the liquid in this
event are described below.
INHALATION
: Inhalation of the liquid or vapors is unlikely during routine
use and handling of this product. In the unlikely event that vapors and
liquid of this product are inhaled, irritation of the respiratory system may
occur. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing or brief difficulty in
breathing. Inhalation of high concentration of vapors or prolonged
inhalation may cause depression of the central nervous system, with
symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and incoordination.
Prolonged inhalation exposure to high concentration of vapors can cause
visual disturbances.
CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES
: Contact with the liquid in these vials is
unlikely during normal use and handling. In the unlikely event that contact
with the skin or eyes occurs, the liquid may cause mild irritation to the skin.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis with symptoms of
dry, red, cracked skin. Direct eye contact with the liquid will cause
immediate irritation, redness and watering of the eyes. Contact with vapors
or mists may cause mild irritation.
SKIN ABSORPTION
: The liquid can be absorbed via intact skin.
Repeated exposure via skin absorption may cause adverse effects to the
kidneys.
INGESTION
: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a likely route of
occupational exposure to this product. In the unlikely event that ingestion
does occur, irritation of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and other tissues of
the digestive system may occur. If large quantity of the liquid is ingested,
symptoms of such over-exposure can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and depression of the central nervous system.
Ingestion of this liquid can lead to aspiration into the lungs should vomiting occur. Aspiration into the lungs can cause
chemical pneumonia and pulmonary edema and may be fatal.
INJECTION
: In the unlikely event that the liquid is injected into the skin (as may occur if skin is punctured by a contaminated
object) irritation in addition to the wound may occur.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms
. In the event of overexposure, the
following symptoms may be observed:
ACUTE: Acute exposure to the liquid in this product is unlikely unless the sealed vials are cracked or broken. Exposure to
small quantities of the liquid is not likely to cause significant health effects by any route of exposure. Eye contact with the
liquid will cause irritation. Inhalation of a high concentration of vapors or mists may cause respiratory irritation and adverse
effects on the central nervous system. Ingestion of large quantities may be harmful and may lead to aspiration into the lungs
CHRONIC: Repeated skin contact with the liquid may cause dermatitis (dry, red, scaly skin). Repeated inhalation exposure
may cause adverse effects to the respiratory system.
TARGET ORGANS: IN EVENT OF EXPOURE TO THE LIQUID: ACUTE: Skin, eyes, gastrointestinal system. CHRONIC:
Skin, respiratory system.
PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Contaminated individuals must be taken for medical attention if any adverse effects occur. 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 the liquid contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with copious amounts of running
water. 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 continues after flushing.
EYE EXPOSURE
: If liquid enters 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. Contact
medial personnel if adverse effect persists after flushing.
INHALATION
: If mists or sprays of the liquid 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 if any adverse effects occur.
