Major Route(s) of Entry Skin contact. Inhalation. Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure Inhalation No significant adverse health effects are expected to occur upon short-term exposure to this product at ambient temperatures. Breathing heated mist or vapor can irritate the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, bronchi, and lungs. Hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) can evolve when this product is stored or handled at elevated temperatures. H 2S can cause respiratory irritation and hypoxia. At low concentrations, H2S has an odor of rotten eggs. At higher concentrations, H2S odor is not apparent. At concentrations above 500 ppm, H 2S causes unconsciousness and death by respiratory paralysis. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has determined that atmospheres containing 100 ppm or more of H 2S are immediately dangerous to life and health.
