Principle Routes of Exposure

SKIN CONTACT............................................ FREQUENT OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE THE SKIN.. MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION. LOW TOXICITY. DERMAL EXPOSURE CAUSES CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS. EYE CONTACT............................................. VAPOUR CAN BE IRRITATING, BUT WILL NOT INJURE EYE TISSUE. LIQUID CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION, EXPERIENCED AS DISCOMFORT OR PAIN, EXCESS BLINKING AND TEAR PRODUCTION, MARKED EXCESS REDNESS AND SWELLING OF THE CONJUNCTIVA, AND CHEMICAL BURNS OF THE CORNEA.

HIGH VAPOUR/AEROSOL CONCENTRATIONS (GREATER THAN APPROXIMATELY 1000 PPM) ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. NEGLIGIBLE HAZARD AT NORMAL TEMPERATURES (UP TO 38 DEG C). PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH VAPOUR CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, BLURRED VISION AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. INGESTION................................................... SMALL AMOUNTS OF LIQUID ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DURING INGESTION OR FROM VOMITING MAY CAUSE MILD TO SEVERE PULMONARY INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH.
