HMIS® ratings

Health: 2¤ Flammability: 3

Physical hazards

0 HMIS uses a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value of zero means that the substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating of four indicates high hazard. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW WARNING FLAMMABLE LIQUID HARMFUL IF INHALED CAN CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE CAN CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE CAN CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION INGESTION MAY CAUSE GASTRIC DISTURBANCES

Principle Routes of Exposure

Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquefied gases. Acute toxicity: Inhalation may cause CNS depression, blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness. Inhalation causes headache and nausea. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product may be harmful or fatal. Information on: acetone Acute exposures to relatively large amounts of acetone can result in local effects, such as irritation to eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract as well as systemic effects such as central nervous system (CNS) depression, which can range in severity from lightheadedness to loss of consciousness depending on the magnitude and length of the exposure. Information on: parachlorobenzotrifluoride Inhalation of Parachlorobenzotriflouride may produce symptoms of CNS depression including headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance and drowsiness. Ingestion may cause damage to the lining of the G.I. tract. Irritation: Skin contact may result in irritation, defatting and dermatitis. Vapors cause irritation to the respiratory tract and the eyes. Prolonged inhalation of product vapor can result in irritation of the mucous membranes. Repeated dose toxicity: Information on: acetone High doses of acetone (500 and 2500 mg/kg/day) administered by oral gavage to rats for 90 consecutive days resulted in some clinical chemistry and blood changes as well as increased absolute/relative liver and kidney weights. Histopathological examination of both organs showed acetone did not affect the liver but appeared to accentuate the kidney changes which accompany aging. No effects were observed at 100 mg/kg/day. Chronic occupational exposures to acetone at levels ranging from 300 to 100 ppm have reportedly been associated with irritation and mild CNS effects but have not affected clinical chemistry parameters or worker mortality. Information on: parachlorobenzotrifluoride Studies conducted on laboratory animals indicate that exposures to parachlorobenzotriflouride via inhalation and ingestion may result in liver and kidney damage. ______________________________________________________________________
