SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes.
Eye Contact: Causes moderate to severe irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact: Causes moderate irritation of the skin.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor causes coughing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea vomiting and headache
Acute Health Effects: Irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. May be harmful through inhalation and ingestion.
Chronic Health Effects: Contact with moisture, as resulting from human contact, will produce n-butanol: This shows reproductive effects in animal studies.
NTP: No
IARC: No
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.
