Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Protective goggles,
gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: INHALATION: causes irritation of upper respiratory tract;
simulation, then depression; dizziness, headache, incoordination, anesthesia, coma, respiratory arrest;
irregular heartbeat is a complication. ASPIRATION: enforce bed rest and administer oxygen.
INGESTION: give victim water or milk; do NOT induce vomiting; guard against aspiration into lungs.
EYES: wash with copious quantity of water. SKIN: remove by wiping, then wash with soap and water;
General Treatment for Exposure: Get medical attention. INHALATION: maintain respiration;
administer oxygen if needed. ASPIRATION: enforce bed rest and administer oxygen. INGESTION:
give victim water or mille; do NOT induce vomiting; guard against aspiration into lungs. EYES: wash
with copious quantity of water. SKIN: remove by wiping, then wash with soap and water; Toxicity by
Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): No single value applicable; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: Not
pertinent; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2, LD, 0.5 to 5 glkg; Late Toxicity: None; Vapor (Gas) Im’tant
Characteristics: Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if present in high
concentrations. The effect is temporary; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Minimum hazard. If
spilled on clothii and allowed to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of skin, Odor Threshold:
0.25 ppm.
