if swallowed - can enter lungs and cause damage

Potential health effects

Inhalation Breathing aerosol and/or mist is possible when material is sprayed. Aerosol and mist may present a greater risk of injury because more material may be present in the air than from vapor alone. Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8). May cause respiratory tract irritation, CNS-depression and narcosis. Ingestion Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury. Swallowing may cause irritation, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. Eye contact Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling of eyes. Skin contact Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and cracking of skin, burns and other skin damage. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would result in harmful effects during safe handling and use. Target Organs Liver, Kidney, Central Nervous System (CNS), Respiratory system.
