Health Hazards Information - Recomnded Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves;
goggles or face shield; Symptoms Following wosure: INHALATION: causes headache and slight
giddiness. INGESTION: causes nausea, vomiting, and cramping; depression of central nervous system
ranging from mild headache to anesthesia, coma, and death; pulmonary irritation secondary to
exhalation of solvent; signs of kidney and liver damage may be delayed. 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; General Trearment for Exposure: INGESTION: do NOT induce
vomiting. ASPIRATION: enforce bed rest; administer oxygen; seek medical attention. EYES: wash
with copious quantity of water. SKIN: remove solvent by wiping and wash with soap and water;
