Potential Acute Health Effects

SWALLOWED Accidental ingestion of the malertal may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingsstion of less than 160 gram may be fatal or may produce serlous damage to the health of the Individual. Nonlonic surfactants may produce locallzed irritation of the oral or gastrointestinal {ining and Induce vomiting and mild diarrhea. EYE If applied to the eyes, this malerial causes severe sye damage. Non-lonic surfactants can cause numbing of the cornea, which masks discomfort normally caused by olher agents and leads to corneal injury. lrritation varies depending on the duration of contact, the nature and concentration of the surfactant. http://proxy.nss.udel.edu:5380/msds.exe?fontsize=&print=Y &rCode=&preframe=&concis... Hazard Alert Code: Chemwatch Material Safety Data Sheet (REVIEW) Revision No: § Chemwatch 67778 Issue date 19-Cct-2007 CD 2008/2 SKIN Skin contact Is not thought to produce harmful heallh effects (as classified using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has been identified following exposure of animals by at least one ofher roule and the material may still produce heaflh damage foliowlng entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires thai exposure be kept o a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational seffing. Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use. Open culs, abraded or irrifated skin should not be exposed to this material. Entry into Ihe blood-stream, through, for example, culs, abrasions o lesions, may produce sysiemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior 1o the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitebly protected. INHALED ‘The material Is not thought ta produce either adverse health effects or Irritatton of the respiratory tract following inhaiation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hyglene practice requires that exposure be kepl lo a minimum and that suilable conirol measures be used in an occupational setling. Inhatation hazard is increased at higher lemperalures.
