concentrations irritate eyes and respiratory tract and act as an anesthetic; General Treatment for
Exposure: INHALATION: remove patient to fresh air; if breathing stops, apply artificial respiration
and administer oxygen; call a physician. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting because of aspiration
hazard; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Inhalation
Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Data not available; Late Toxicity: Data not available;
Vapor (Gas) Imhnt Characteristics: Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system
if present 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 Threshold Data not available.
