HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION *** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***: May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Combustible liquid and vapor. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Eye Contact: According to test results on similar CHROMA CHEM base mixtures, this product is classified as a mild eye irritant. May cause tearing or reddening of the eyes. Skin Contact: A moderate skin irritant based on testing of similar CHROMA CHEM base mixtures. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation. Inhalation: Possibly irritating. Excessive inhalation of solvent vapors may cause nasal and respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness and even death. 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (CONTINUED) Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. General: High vapor concentrations (3000 ppm) of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate caused upper respiratory irritation and liver and kidney effects in subchronic animal testing. The relevance of these results to humans is not known. Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized. Some studies have linked exposure of carbon black dust to lung effects. IARC classifies carbon black as a Category 2B Carcinogen (known animal carcinogen, possible human carcinogen) based on inhalation studies. However, the manufacturers of carbon black state that epidemiologic studies of workers in the carbon black industry in the U.S. and W. Europe show no significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure. Because this product is a free-flowing liquid or paste, dust inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
