EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
WARNING. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS OR MISTS.
PRESSURIZED CONTAINER. PROTECT FROM SUNLIGHT AND DO NOT EXPOSE TO
TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 122 DEG. F (50 DEG. C). DO NOT PIERCE OR BURN, EVEN
AFTER USE. DO NOT SPRAY ON NAKED FLAME OR ANY INCANDESCENT MATERIAL KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES: IRRITATING TO EYES.
SKIN:
IRRITATING TO SKIN. PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY DEFAT THE SKIN AND PRODUCE
DERMATITIS.
INGESTION: ASPIRATION MAY CAUSE PULMONARY OEDEMA AND PNEUMONITIS. NAUSEA.
INHALATION:
INHALATION OF HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE NASAL & RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION AND SYMPTOMS LIKE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, TIREDNESS, NAUSEA,
VOMITING AND POSSIBLE UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CHRONIC EFFECTS SUCH AS. LIVER DISORDERS.
KIDNEY DISORDERS. LUNG DAMAGE. CARDIAC IRREGULARITIES. REPEATED AND
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS MAY CAUSE BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.
MAY CAUSE DISORDER AND DAMAGE TO THE SPLEEN. IN CHRONIC INHALATION TESTS
