Potential health effects
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Intentional misuse can be fatal. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Liquid contact can cause frostbite. Inhalation 15 minute ALC: 832,000 ppm in rats. ACUTE TOXICITY IN ANIMALS Inhalation Effects range from "no observed adverse effects" at low to moderate concentrations to central nervous system effects at high Continued) concentrations (4%). Cardiac sensitization has been observed in dogs exposed to concentrations of 7.5% and higher. SUBCHRONIC TOXICITY IN ANIMALS Inhalation Effects range from "no observed advers effects" in some tests to pneumonitis, liver and kidney effects at lethal or near lethal concentrations. of overexposure by inhalation may initially include: nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness; or temporary central nervous system depression with effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination and loss of consciousness. Pyrolysis products may produce irritating and corrosive gases. Higher exposure (>13%) may lead to these effects: temporary alteration of the heart’s electrical activity with irregular pulse, palpitations or inadequate circulation. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the central nervous or cardiovascular systems may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
