SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Hazard statements

Xn" - Harmful R20/22 - Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless, Volatile Liquid IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products. Very mild (if any) eye/skin irritant.

Potential health effects

EYES: Liquid contact can cause irritation, which may be severe. SKIN: Liquid contact could cause frostbite. INGESTION: Not likely to be ingested. INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self- contained breathing apparatus. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE EYES: Can cause severe eye irritation. SKIN: Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold" burn). INGESTION: Not a likely route of exposure. INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness). ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.

Potential chronic health

Not Established CARCINOGENICITY: Not Established MUTAGENICITY: None known. REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Not yet Determined
