Principle Routes of Exposure

INDICATORS SKIN PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTE INDICATOR = Y EYE PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTE INDICATOR = Y INHALATION PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTE INDICATOR = Y EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN: OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL SKIN IRRITATION EFFECTS NOTED, ACUTE (SHORT TERM) ADVERSE EFFECTS ARE NOT EXPECTED FROM BRIEF SKIN CONTACT; SEE OTHER EFFECTS AND SECTION 11 FOR INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL LONG TERM EFFECTS. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN ACUTE: BRIEF CONTACT MAY CAUSE SLIGHT IRRITATION. PROLONGED CONTACT, AS WITH CLOTHING WETTED WITH MATERIAL, MAY CAUSE MORE SEVERE IRRITATION AND DISCOMFORT, SEEN AS LOCAL REDNESS AND SWELLING. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE ACUTE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EXPERIENCED AS MILD DISCOMFORT AND SEEN AS SLIGHT EXCESS REDNESS OF THE EYE. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: VAPORS OR MISTS, IN EXCESS OF PERMISSIBLE CONCENTRATIONS, OR IN UNUSUALLY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS GENERATED FROM SPRAYING, HEATING THE MATERIAL OR AS FROM EXPOSURE IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES, MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND THROAT, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, AND DROWSINESS. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: IF MORE THAN SEVERAL MOUTHFULS ARE SWALLOWED, ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT, NAUSEA, AND DIARRHEA MAY OCCUR.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

BECAUSE OF ITS IRRITATING PROPERTIES, REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN EXISTING DERMATITIS ( SKIN CONDITION). ADDITIONAL HEALTH HAZARD DATA: WHEN OVERHEATED, PRODUCT MAY RELEASE HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S) GAS. H2S CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE PERMISSIBLE CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND PULMONARY EDEMA. AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 300 PPM, RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS, CAUSING UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH, CAN OCCUR.
