SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE -- EYE CONTACT: This material may cause mild eye irritation. Direct contact with the liquid or exposure to vapors or mists may cause stinging, tearing, and redness. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE -- SKIN CONTACT: This material is a skin irritant. Direct contact or exposure to vapors or mists may cause redness and burning, drying and cracking of the skin, and skin damage. No harmful effects have been demonstrated in skin absorption studies. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE -- INHALATION: This material is expected to have a low degree of toxicity by inhalation. Breathing high concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose, throat and signs of nervous system depression. (e.g. headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue). Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders (e.g. asthma-like conditions) may be aggravated by exposure to this material. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE -- INGESTION: While this material has a low degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities may cause irritation of the digestive tract and signs of nervous system depression (e.g. headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue). Aspiration hazard: This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage. COMMENTS -- This material has not been identified as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to 2 solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as solvent or painter’s syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product may be harmful or fatal. This product is sometimes used as a dry- cleaning solvent. Retained solvent in absorbent clothing (e.g. shoulder pads) that remains in contact with the skin for prolonged periods has caused severe skin irritation including redness, swelling, burns and severe skin damage. Care must be taken to ensure that garments cleaned with solvents are completely dry before being worn.
