Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles or face
shield; Qmptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation for brief periods has no significant effect. Contact
with liquid causes moderate irritation of eyes and corneal injury. Prolonged contact with skin causes
only minor irritation; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove to fresh air; if ill
effects are observed, call a doctor. EYES: immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 min.
SKIN: wash well with soap and water. INGESTION: give large amounts of water; Toxicity by
Inhalation Freshold Limit Value) : Data not available; Short-Term Exposure Limits: Data not available;
Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2; oral LD,, 2 g/kg (guinea pig); Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor
(Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if
present in high concentrations. The effect is temporary; Liquid or Solid Zm’tant Churacteristics: No
appreciable hazard. Practically harmless to the skin; Odor Threshold: Data not available.
