SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid. IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products.

Potential health effects

EYES: Avoid contact with eyes; may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). INGESTION: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects. INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self- contained breathing apparatus. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE EYES: Liquid splashed in the eye may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis. SKIN: Prolonged exposure causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin. INGESTION: For large amounts; abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness). ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
