Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview Appearance: Colorless, viscous liquid Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns.Flammable liquid and vapor. May cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May be harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, lungs, eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential health effects
Eye: Causes eye burns. Low vapor concentrations may cause a temporary visual disturbance known as 'blue haze' or 'halo vision'. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). Skin: Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Undiluted EDA is corrosive to rabbit skin, causing complete tissue destruction after 6 to 12 minutes. - 1 - Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause liver and kidney damage. May be harmful if swallowed. Inhalation: May cause severe allergic respiratory reaction. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause asthma. Chronic: May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).
