Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to skin. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to aquatic
may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes mild eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Exposure produces central nervous system depression. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic: May impair fertility.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes o
Eyes:
closed.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
