0 2 HEALTH 2 0 FLAMMABILITY 0 - continued P235 - Store in a cool dry place. P262 - Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. P264 - Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily available. P280 - Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact. P284 - Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), or a risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised. Use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN14387) respirator cartridges in absence of proper environmental control. Always use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. P338 - Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. P360 - Skin contact: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. P380 - Evacuate the area of all non-essential personnel. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protection. Eliminate any ignition sources until the area is determined to be free from explosion or fire hazards. Contain the release and eliminate its source, if this can be done without risk. Take up and containerize for proper disposal. Comply with Federal, State, and local regulations.

2.3 Other hazards

2.2.1 - Symptom of Exposure Health/Environment May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. (Specific target organ, repeated exposure, Category 2) Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer. Alcohol consumed before or after exposure may increase adverse effects. Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath and headache. Harmful to fish and other water organisms. (H402)
