| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. The liquid is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory system. n-butanol vapor may cause severe eye irritation and drowsiness. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, contact with skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritation to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Dehydrating agent. Liquid will cause mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. Irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause headache, dizziness and drowsiness. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting and headache. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to antimony compounds may cause laryngitis, headache, anemia, skin eruptions, nervous disorders, liver and kidney damage. In animal studies, n-butanol in high doses has acted as a reproductive effector. |
| 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. |
