Principle Routes of Exposure

X X X _ _ _ _ EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Acute: Eyes: May cause minimal irritation, experienced as temporary discomfort. Skin: Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and dis- comfort, seen as local redness and swelling. Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term) adverse effects are not expected from brief skin contact; see other effects, below, and Section 11 for information regarding potential long term effects. Inhalation: Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations generated from spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat, headache, nausea, and drowsiness. Ingestion: If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Sensitization Properties: Unknown. Chronic: No adverse effects have been documented in humans as a result of chronic exposure. Section 11 may contain applicable animal data.
