Danger

Hazard statements

May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure Causes skin irritation Causes serious eye irritation May cause an allergic reaction May cause respiratory irritation May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled May cause an allergic skin reaction Harmful if inhaled Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects ADDITIONAL HAZARD IDENTIFICAITON INFORMATION:

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin contact SIGNS & SYMPTONS OF EXPOSURE EYES: May cause eye irritation. May result in corneal opacity (clouding of the eye surface). SKIN: Can cause skin burns, irritation, and possible allergic reaction. INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Can burn mouth, throat, and stomach. Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. INHALATION: Inhalation of MDI vapors may cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and trachea, breathlessness, chest discomfort, difficult breathing and reduced pulmonary function.

Acute Health Hazards

Individuals who have developed skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result of contact with a very small amount of the liquid material.

Health hazards

As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals will develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the PEL/TLV. These symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage, including a decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Sensitization may be either temporary or permanent. Prolonged contact can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering. In those who have developed skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material. CARCINOGENICITY: Lung tumers have been observed in lab animals exposedot repirable aerosol droplets of MDI/polymerix MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred cocurrently with respiratory irritation and lung injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects reported for MDI.
