CARNOY"S SOLUTION (FIXATIVE)

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview: DANGER! Flammable and Toxic. Contains Chloroform, a suspected carcinogen. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. May be fatal if swallowed. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor. Use with adequate ventilation. If swallowed, dilute with water and induce vomiting. Call a physician. Wash areas of contact with plenty of water for 15 minutes. For eyes, get medical attention. Target Organs: eyes, skin, central nervous system, respiratory system, liver, pancreas, kidneys, cardiovascular system, teeth, gastrointestinal system. Eye Contact: May cause irritation with burning and stinging with possible damage to the cornea and conjunctiva. Inhalation: May cause irritation of the eyes, nose and mucosa of the respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations can cause depression of the central nervous system with symptoms of sleepiness, lack of concentration. headache, and dizziness. Skin Contact: Results in drying and cracking which can lead to secondary infections and dermatitis. Ingestion: Symptoms can include sleep disorders, hallucinations, distorted perceptions, ataxia, motor function changes, convulsions and tremors, coma, headaches, pulmonary changes, alteration of gastric secretions.
