SECTION 2: Hazards identification

POTENTIAL ACUTE [single or short term] HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Eye : May cause frostbite and irritation. May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, and redness. Skin : Liquid may cause frostbite. Skin contact may cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, discomfort, drying and cracking, or rash. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would result in harmful effects during safe handling and use. Ingestion : Frostbite of the lips and mouth may result from contact with the liquid. This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and/or damage. Swallowing small amounts during handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. Inhalation : May cause nausea, vomiting, coughing and pulmonary irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, and lack of coordination. Breathing small amounts during handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are more typically seen at air concentrations exceeding the recommended exposure limits. Symptoms of exposure may include: initial Central Nervous System excitation (euphoria, exhilaration, light-headedness) followed by CNS depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other CNS effects, such as confusion, impaired coordination, coma, and death. POTENTIAL CHRONIC [long term] HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: General Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause drying, defatting, and dermatitis of the skin. Exposure to this material (or a component) has been found to cause kidney damage in male rats. The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not expected to occur in humans.
