| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Based on animal studies ingestion may lead to somnolence, ataxia, and convulsions. May cause vomiting and diarrhea. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Studies indicate that prolonged exposure can lead to nervous system injury, leg weakness, tremors, loss of muscle coordination and altered reflexes. |

| OSHA: | No |
| 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. |
