EYE CONTACT: This product contains a material which causes irreversible eye damage. SKIN CONTACT: May be corrosive. This product contains a material which causes skin burns. May be absorbed through the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. INHALATION: Vapor and/or spray mist harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation and/or allergic respiratory reaction in lungs. Vapor irritates eyes, nose, and throat. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system damage. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Avoid long-term and repeated contact. Ethylbenzene has been reported by NTP to cause cancer in laboratory animals following a chronic (2 year) inhalation exposure. Dose levels of 75, 250 and 750 ppm were used, with evidence of carcinogenicity found in the kidneys of rats and the lung and liver of mice at 750 ppm. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 75 ppm. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain, but appropriate safeguards should be employed to reduce or eliminate inhalation exposure to ethylbenzene. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and loss of coordination are indications that solvent levels are too high. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal. Redness, itching, burning sensation and visual disturbances may indicate excessive eye contact. Dryness, itching, cracking, burning, Page redness, 3 of 6 and swelling are conditions associated with excessive skin contact. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not applicable.
