Potential health effects

EYE SKIN May cause mild to moderate irritation including stinging, tearing and redness. Single, brief exposures may cause mild irritation. Frequent or prolonged contact may cause more severe irritation, defatting of the skin, and dermatitis. INHALATION High vapor concentrations are irritating to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract and may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects, including death. May cause peripheral nervous system disorder and/or damage. INGESTION Low order of toxicity by ingestion. May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal lining and nausea. Main hazard is aspiration into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. Small amounts aspirated into the respiratory system may cause bronchopneumonia or pulmonary adema, possible progressing to death.

Potential chronic health
