SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: Amber liquid with ammonia-like, fishy odor WARNING! Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Potential skin sensitizer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye and skin contact, ingestion, inhalation Symptoms of acute overexposure Skin: Severe irritation or burns, necrosis, blistering and permanent injury. Potential sensitizer. Eyes: Severe irritant Overexposure may cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis, corneal damage and may cause permanent injury (i.e. blindness) Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory sensitization with asthma-like symptoms in susceptible individuals. Ingestion: Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract and abdominal pain. Effects of Chronic Exposure: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause adverse eye effects (conjunctivitis, corneal damage), or skin effects (rash, irritation, corrosion). Repeated exposures to high concentrations of TEPA may cause injury to the liver, kidney and respiratory tract. TEPA has caused allergic sensitization in humans. Nonylphenol has caused allergic sensitization in humans.
