Potential health effects

EYE: May cause pain and slight eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors may irritate eyes. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation.

Swallowing large amounts may cause serious injury, even death. If aspirated into lungs, during swallowing or vomiting, liquid may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems.

Excessive inhalation of vapors may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability. TARGET ORGANS: Central nervous system.
