SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects and/or neurological effects.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause psychic abnormalities such as anxiety, depression and excitability. Prolonged exposure may cause mental changes such as hallucinations, depression, psychosis, and possibly coma. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause CNS stimulation.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
