Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Organic canister or air-
supplied mask, goggles or face shield; Symptoms Following Exposure: Vapors may produce slight
irritation of eyes and respiratory tract if present in high concentration. May also act as a slight
anesthetic at high concentrations; General Treamrent for Exposure: CONTACT WITH EYES OR
SKIN: splashes in the eye should be removed by thorough flushing with water. Skin areas should be
washed with soap and water. Contaminated clothing should be laundered before reuse; Toxicity by
Inhalation (l7zresholdLimit Value): Data not available; Short-TernExposureLimits: Data not available;
Toxicity by Ingestion: Data not available; Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant
Characteristics: Slight smarting of eyes and respiratory system at high concentrations. The effect is
temporary; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed
to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of the skin; Odor Z3reshoEd Data not available.
