Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye and skin contact, inhalation of vapors or mists, accidental ingestion. HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: ACUTE INHALATION..............: Overexposure to acetic acid vapors can cause irritation to the respiratory tract resulting in coughing, runny nose and sore throat. Inhalation of diethylene glycol vapors is unlikely due to its low vapor pressure. However, if misted or handled at elevated temperatures, high concentrations of diethylene glycol can produce drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. ACUTE SKIN CONTACT............: Direct contact with acetic acid is corrosive to the skin with symptoms of burning, reddening, itching, and swelling. Skin sensitization with acetic acid is rare, but has been reported. CHRONIC SKIN CONTACT..........: Repeated or prolonged contact to 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone may cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitive individuals. ACUTE EYE CONTACT.............: Overexposure to acetic acid can cause severe irritation and corrosion resulting in burning, stinging, reddening, swelling and possible injury to the cornea depending on the concentration of the acid. 1-Phenyl-3-pyrazolidone may be irritating to the eyes with symptoms of reddening, itching, and stinging. ACUTE INGESTION...............: Swallowing concentrated acetic acid may cause severe injury. Ingestion of diethylene glycol can result in behavioral change, drowsiness, kidney and liver failure, and coma. The oral toxicity of diethylene glycol is greater in humans than in laboratory animals. The estimated single lethal dose-oral-human is 1.0 ml/kg. 1-Phenyl-3-pyrazolidone is expected to be harmful if swallowed. CARCINOGENICITY...............: The components of this product are not listed by NTP, IARC or regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE......: Persons with preexisting eye, skin or respiratory tract disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this product.
