SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Liquid aerosol, various colors. Solvent odor. Danger! Flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. May be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin in large amounts. May cause blindness if swallowed. Causes eye irritation.

Potential health effects

Target organs: Skin, eyes, respiratory system, digestive system, central nervous system (CNS)

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin contact, skin absorption, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion Signs and symptoms of short-term (acute) exposure: Inhalation: Inhalation of mists or vapors may cause irritation to the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Additional symptoms may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of co-ordination and other central nervous system (CNS) effects. In high concentrations, affected person may experience a latent period, which could then be followed by visual effects including sensitivity to light and blurred vision. Product could potentially act as an asphyxiant and cause increased breathing and pulse rates, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Skin: Liquid concentrate may be irritating to the skin. Product may be absorbed if left on the skin, causing symptoms similar to those listed for inhalation. Spraying product directly onto skin could cause symptoms of frostbite including numbness, prickling and itching. Eyes: Liquid concentrate causes moderate irritation to the eyes. Spraying product directly into eyes could cause freezing of the eye. Continued Ingestion: Liquid concentrate is poisonous if swallowed. Causes severe irritation to mouth, throat, and stomach. Severe stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea may follow. Ingestion of extremely large amounts could cause the product to be absorbed. Absorption could cause additional symptoms similar to those listed for inhalation. Blindness or death may occur.

Potential chronic health

Prolonged skin contact may cause drying and cracking of the skin (dermatitis). Continual and prolonged overexposure to solvents has been shown to cause permanent CNS effects. Conditions aggravated by exposure: May aggravate pre-existing skin, respiratory, digestive, and central nervous system problems. Carcinogenic status: See TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION, Section 11.
