Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin Contact: Yes Skin Absorption: No Eye Contact Yes Ingestion Yes Inhalation: Yes Emergency overview: High vapor concentrations may cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, in coordination and confusion. Aspiration hazard, if ingested. Possible reproductive hazard.
Potential Acute Health Effects
It is unlikely that contact with skin will result in any ill effects. Direct contact with eyes may produce a mild transient irritation. Although ingestion is not a typical route of entry, consumption may be a possible reproduction hazard. Should the product be atomized and the inhaled, upper respiratory irritation may occur causing coughing. These effects are transient and will subside if the source of irritation is removed.
Potential chronic health
For persons who have sensitive skin, or who are pre-disposed to skin problems, prolonged contact may result in minor rash.
