Potential health effects

Inhalation: Short Term Exposure: High vapour pressures may cause drowsiness and dizziness. In addition product may be mildly irritating, although unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort. Long Term Exposure: This product is carcinogenic by inhalation exposure. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Skin Contact: Short Term Exposure: Available data shows that this product is harmful, but symptoms are not available. In addition, product is a skin irritant. Symptoms may include itchiness and reddening of contacted skin. Other symptoms may also become evident, but all should disappear once exposure has ceased. Long Term Exposure: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Eye Contact: Short Term Exposure: This product is an eye irritant. Symptoms may include stinging and reddening of eyes and watering which may become copious. Other symptoms may also become evident. If exposure is brief, symptoms should disappear once exposure has ceased. However, lengthy exposure or delayed treatment may cause permanent damage. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure. Ingestion: Short Term Exposure: Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Because of the low viscosity of this product, it may directly enter the lungs if swallowed, or if subsequently vomited. Once in the lungs, it is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury or death. However, this product is an oral irritant. Symptoms may include burning sensation and reddening of skin in mouth and throat. Other symptoms may also become evident, but all should disappear once exposure has ceased. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion.
