SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***: Black Liquid, with Solvent odor. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor harmful; may affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Harmful if swallowed. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause skin and eye irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: May cause eye irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation. May cause dermatitis. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: May cause central nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness or coma. In elevated-temperature applications, product may release vapors that may produce cyanosis in the absence of sufficient ventilation or adequate respiratory protection. Possible irritation of the respiratory system can occur causing a variety of symptoms such as dryness of the throat, tightness of the chest, and shortness of breath. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in industrial or commercial uses. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: May cause liver or kidney damage. May affect the gastrointestinal system. May affect the blood and blood-forming organs. Repeated or prolonged solvent overexposure may result in permanent central nervous system damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in dermatitis. Ethylbenzene has been classified by IARC as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) and reported by NTP to show clear evidence for carcinogenicity in animals. IARC has designated carbon black as Group 2B - inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans, but sufficient evidence in experimental animals. The nitrogen substituted aromatic in this 300000001230 product gave positive results for mutagenicity in an Ames Assay study while two other mutagenicity studies proved negative.
