| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful in contact with skin. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhal, ingestion, and contact with skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes moderate to severe irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes mild irritation of the skin. Prolonged contact may dry the skin and lead to rashes or more severe irritation. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of vapor causes coughing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness. |
| Ingestion: | Irritating to mouth throat and stomach. May cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pain and stomach upset. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful in contact with skin. Irritation of skin, eyes and respiratory tract. n-Butanol causes headache, dizziness, drowsiness, corneal inflammation and blurred vision. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | n-butanol: reproductive effects in animal studies. Dermatitis; possible auditory nerve damage, hearing loss; central nervous system depression. Target Organs Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system |

| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
