Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Absorption, Inhalation Signs and Symptoms of Eye contact may cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing Exposure: and blurred vision. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation, dermatitis and drying of the skin. Absorption through intact skin may contribute to an individual's overall exposure. Inhalation may cause respiratory system irritation and central nervous system depression (narcosis) characterized by headache, dizziness, muscular weakness and fatigue. Inhalation of toluene vapors above 200 ppm may result in impairment of coordination, increased reaction time and a bad taste in the mouth. May cause unconsciousness if exposure is excessive. Benzene, 1 Chloro-4-(Trifluoromethyl) LC50: 4,479 ppm, rat; Toluene LC50: 8,000 ppm/4hr, rat; Benzene, 1 Chloro- 4-(Trifluoromethyl) LD50 >6.8 g/kg, rat; Toluene LD50 5 g/kg, rat.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Exposure to this product may aggravate pre-existing skin and by Exposure: respiratory diseases. Toluene exposures have caused birth defects in laboratory animals when exposures were at concentrations that harmed the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.

Potential chronic health

May cause kidney, liver, spleen and central nervous system damage.
