SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance: liquid, clear MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY REACTION. MAY BE HARMFUL. MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS OF RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACTS. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. CAUSES SEVERE BURNS OF THE EYES AND SKIN.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion Eye contact Can cause permanent eye injury. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Can injure the cornea and cause blindness. Skin contact Can cause permanent skin damage. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and swelling of skin, burns, and other skin damage. Additional symptoms of skin contact may include: allergic skin reaction (delayed skin rash which may be followed by blistering, scaling and other skin effects) Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would result in harmful effects during safe handling and use. Ingestion 84256 Swallowing this material may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms may include severe stomach and intestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), abdominal pain, and vomiting of blood. Swallowing this material may cause burns and destroy tissue in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Low blood pressure and shock may occur as a result of severe tissue injury. Inhalation Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing this material may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms may include severe irritation and burns to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Excessive heat or contact with acids, water and/or ice, releases sulfur dioxide gas which may be harmful or deadly if inhaled.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions) Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), low blood pressure, lung edema (fluid buildup in the lung tissue), Exposure to this product (or a component) may cause an allergic reaction (narrowing of the air passages of the lungs resulting in difficult breathing, tightness in the chest, coughing and wheezing) in some sensitive individuals. Other symptoms of an allergic reaction may include itchy and watery eyes, runny and stuffy nose, sweating, flushing, hives, rapid heart rate, and lowered blood pressure. Target Organs No data Carcinogenicity This material is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). When given through a stomach tube repeatedly throughout the lifetime of experimental animals, 2-benzyl-4-chlorophenol has caused cancer of the kidney. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. Reproductive hazard Based on the available information, risk to the fetus from maternal exposure to this material cannot be assessed.

Further information

84256 Exposure to this material may cause severe or fatal allergic reaction in some asthmatics and sulfite sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions are immediate following breathing, injection or ingestion of oral solutions. Ingestion of solids or food particles may delay the onset of symptoms, with a maximal effect 30 to 90 minutes after ingestion.
