Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Face shield or safety
glasses; protective gloves; air mask for prolonged exposure to vapor; Symptoms Following Exposure:
Prolonged breathing of vapor may cause irritation and nausea. Contact with liquid any cause mild
irritation of eyes and skin. Can be absorbed through skin in toxic amounts; General Treatment for
Expasure: INHALATION move victim to fresh air; if breathing has stopped, administer artificial
respiration. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min. SKIN: wash skin with large amounts of water
for 15 min.; call physician if needed. INGESTION: induce vomiting; get medical attention; Toxicity
by Inhalation (ThresholdLimit Value): Data not available; Short-Term ExposureLimits: Because of high
