Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Hydrocarbon vapor
canister, supplied-air or hose mask, hydrocarbon-insoluble rubber or plastic gloves, chemical goggles
or face splash shield, hydrocarbon-insoluble rubber or plastic apron; Symptoms Following Exposure:
Dizziness, with nausea and vomiting. Concentrated vapor may cause unconsciousness and collapse;
General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove victim to fresh air; if breathing stops, apply
artificial respiration and administer oxygen. SKIN OR EYE CONTACT: remove contaminated clothing
and gently flush affected areas with water for 15 min. Calla physician; Toxicity by Inhalation
(Threshold Limit Value): 300 ppm; Short-Term Exposure Limits: 300 ppm for 60 min; Toxicity by
Ingestion: Grade 2; LD,, 0.5 to 5 gtkg; Late Toxicity: None; Vapor (Gas) Imlant Characteristics:
Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if present in high concentrations. The
effect is temporary; Liquid or Solid Im’tant characteristics: Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing
and allowed to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of the skin; Odor Threshold Data not
available.
