Section III. Hazards Identification
Acute Health Effects Toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid prolonged contact with this material. Overexposure may result in serious illness or death.
Irritating to eyes and skin on contact. Inhalation causes irritation of the lungs and respiratory system. Inflammation of the
eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
occasionally, blistering.
Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear proper protective equipment when handling this compound.
Chronic Health Effects CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or
many human organs.
Section IV. First Aid Measures
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15

and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or

waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not
improve.
Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic
material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive.
