Not applicable
TLV and source:

This solution of antifreeze inhibitors is an alkaline irritant and corrosive with a
Effects of overexposure:
pH of 10-12. Prolonged contact can be destructive to tissue. Contact with
the eyes may damage delicate eye tissue. Ingestion will cause mouth, throat
and gastrointestinal irritation. Sodium nitrite can cause cyanosis, headache,
dizziness, nausea and methemoglobinemia. Inhalation of harmful levels of
vapors is unlikely due to the relatively low vapor pressure and the relatively
low concentrations of ingredients.

Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. If
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Eye contact:
