Emergency Overview Appearance: liquid, Water-white WARNING! COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion Eye contact Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Skin contact Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness and burning of skin, and other skin damage. May cause allergic skin reaction. Ingestion Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. Inhalation Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. It is possible to breathe this material under certain conditions of handling and use (for example, during heating, spraying, or stirring). Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, Skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions) Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, allergic skin reaction (delayed skin rash which may be followed by blistering, scaling and other skin effects), stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Headache, Dizziness Target Organs Exposure to this material (or a component) has been found to cause kidney damage in male rats. The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not expected to occur in humans., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible liver effects Carcinogenicity d-Limonene caused kidney cancer in male rats, but not in female rats or in mice of either sex, when given to the animals through a feeding tube. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. Reproductive hazard This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
