Potential health effects

ACUTE EXPOSURE No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product label. Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour and skin/eye contact/absorption. Acute (short term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to this product. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, may cause vomiting, coughing, pulmonary irritation, headaches and dizziness, and may have other central nervous system effects. Prolonged, repeated skin contact with low viscosity materials may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and dermatitis. Effects of chemicals on human health and the environment depend on how much chemical is present and the length and frequency of exposure. Effects also depend on the health of a person or the condition of the environment when exposure occurs. SWALLOWED Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Ingestion can result in nausea, cramps, pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and central nervous system depression. EYE The liquid is moderately irritating to the eye, but it is unlikely to cause any more than mild transient discomfort. However, immediate flushing of the eyes with water will minimize any irritative effect. High concentration of vapours may cause irritation. It is also unlikely to cause any lasting effects. SKIN Exposure to this product is not likely to cause significant irritation, nor is it likely to be absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause irritation and dermatitic effects. Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition. INHALED No inhalation hazards incidental to normal handling operations are anticipated from this product when used at room temperatures. Acute effects from inhalation of vapor/mist concentrations above recommended exposure levels produce dryness of the mouth and throat, may be irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract. Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures. Toxic effects are increased by consumption of alcohol. Repeated exposure may cause sensitization and/or allergic reactions. - CHRONIC EXPOSURE Chronic (long term) health effects can occur at some time after exposure to this product and can last for months or years. Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact/absorption and inhalation of vapour. Prolonged or continuous skin contact with liquid may cause de-fatting with drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes [PATTYS] This chemical has not been adequately evaluated to determine whether brain or other nerve damage could occur with repeated exposure. However, many solvents and other petroleum-based chemicals have been shown to cause such damage. Effects may include reduced memory and concentration, personality changes (withdrawal, irritability), fatigue, sleep disturbances, reduced coordination, and/or effects on nerves supplying internal organs (autonomic nerves) and/or nerves to the arms and legs (weakness, "pins and needles"). MIXED EXPOSURES Because smoking can cause heart disease, as well as lung cancer, emphysema, and other respiratory problems, it may worsen respiratory conditions caused by chemical exposure. Even if you have smoked for a long time, stopping now will reduce your risk of developing health problems. Because more than light alcohol consumption can cause liver damage, drinking alcohol can increase the liver damage caused by this product.
