SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: DANGER! Causes eye burns. Causes skin burns. May cause allergic skin reaction. Toxic if swallowed. May cause target organ failure and/or death. Vapor harmful. May be harmful if absorbed through skin.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation • Skin absorption • Ingestion • Eye contact • Skin contact Target Organs Potentially • Skin Affected by Exposure: • Central nervous system • Respiratory Tract • Kidneys • Liver

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Skin disorders. • Eye disorders. • Respiratory disorders, including but not limited to asthma and bronchitis. • Skin allergies. • Contains salicylic acid which may cause allergic reactions in aspirin-sensitive people. • Immediate (Acute) Health Effects by Route of Exposure: Inhalation Irritation: Causes nose and throat irritation. Causes lung irritation. Irritating to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Can cause severe respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness. Inhalation Toxicity: May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Inhalation of high concentrations may be corrosive with symptoms of coughing, burning, ulceration and pain. Skin Contact: Causes skin burns. Corrosive to skin tissue. Can cause chemical burns. May cause allergic skin reaction. Sensitizer. Avoid exposure. If sensitized, repeated exposures will result in irritation, reddening, and rashes even for very low exposures. Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Contains a substance which may result in absorption of harmful amounts upon prolonged or widespread contact. Eye Contact: Corrosive to eye tissue. Can cause severe irritation, tearing, and burns that can quickly lead to permanent injury including blindness. Can cause substantial irritation. Ingestion Irritation: Severely irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach. Can cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed. This product may produce corrosive damage to the gastrointestinal tract if it is swallowed. Long-Term (Chronic) Health Effects: Inhalation: Upon prolonged and/or repeated exposure, can cause severe respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness. Overexposure may cause lung damage. Prolonged and continuous exposure to an excessive concentration has been shown to affect respiratory function. This effect may be severe. Overexposure may cause respiratory tract damage. Skin Contact: Upon prolonged or repeated contact can cause severe irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. May cause lingering affects but not likely to result in permanent damage if the exposure is eliminated. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. Skin Absorption: Upon prolonged or repeated exposure, harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause severe irritation and systemic damage.
