Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, eyes & skin. Target Organs: Eyes, skin, central nervous system, reproductive system. Irritancy: All routes of exposure. Sensitizing Capability: None known. Reproductive Effects: May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects based on laboratory animal data.
Cancer information
Not known to be carcinogenic. SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE (ACUTE) Inhalation: May produce symptoms of central nervous system depression including headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of sense of balance, drowsiness, and visual disturbances. On the basis of the low vapor pressure of the product, inhalation of vapor is unlikely except at elevated temperatures. Eyes: Contact with liquid can cause eye irritation, tearing, blurred vision and transient corneal injury. Skin: May be irritating with prolonged or repeated contact. May be absorbed in toxic amounts through the skin. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. May produce symptoms of central nervous system depression including headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of sense of balance, drowsiness, and visual disturbances. REPEATED EXPOSURE (CHRONIC): Prolonged or repeated exposure may result in central nervous system and gastrointestinal system disturbances, and possible adverse reproductive effects. Synergistic Materials: None known.
