coordination or, in more severe cases, anesthesia, coma, and, respiratory arrest. If liquid enters lungs,
it will cause severe irritation, coughing, gagging, pulmonary edema, and, later, signs of
bronchopneumonia and pneumonitis. Swallowing may cause irregular heartbeat; General Treatment for
Eqosure: INHALATION: maintain respiration and administer oxygen; enforce bed rest if liquid is in
lungs. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; stomach should be lavaged (by doctor) if appreciable
quantity is swallowed. EYES: wash with copious quantity of water. SKIN: wipe off and wash with soap
and water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): No single TLV applies; Short-Term
Inhalation Limits: 500 ppm for 30 min.; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2, LD,, 0.5 to 5 g/kg; Lute
Toxicity: None; 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 Irritant
Characteristics: Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain, may cause smarting
and reddening of the skin; Odor 73reshold: 0.25 ppm.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (deg. F): -36 CC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 1.4 - 1.4; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be
Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: None; Behavior in Fire:
Vapor is heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back;
Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 853; Electrical Hazard: Class I, Group D; Burning Rate: 4 dmin.

Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Protective goggles,
gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: INHALATION causes irritation of upper respiratory tract;
central nervous system stimulation followed by depression of varying degrees ranging from dizziness,
headache, and incoordination to anesthesia, coma, and respiratory arrest; irregular heartbeat is
dangerous complication. ASPIRATION causes severe lung irritation with coughing, gagging, dyspnea,
substernal distress, and rapidly developing pulmonary edema; later, signs of bronchopneumonia and
pneumonitis; acute onset of central nervous system excitement followed by depression. INGESTION
causes irritation of mucous membranes of throat, esophagus, and stomach; stimulation followed by
depression of central nervous system; irregular heartbeat; General Treatment for Exposure: Seek
medical attention. INHALATION maintain respiration; give oxygen if needed. ASPIRATION: enforce
bed rest; administer oxygen. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; lavage carefilly if appreciable
quantity was ingested; guard against aspiration into lungs. EYES: wash with copious quantity of water.
SKIN: wipe off and wash with soap and water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): No
single TLV applies; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: 500 ppm for 30 min.; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade
2, LD, 0.5 to 5 glkg; Late Toxicity: None; Vqor (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 Irritant Characteristics: Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain,
may cause smarting and reddening of the skin; Odor Threshold 0.25 ppm.
