Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Fresh-air mask for
confined areas; rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Will bum eyes and skin. The analgesic
action may cause loss of pain sensation. Readily absorbed through skin, causing increase in heart rate,
convulsions, and death; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: if victim shows any ill
effects, move him to fresh air, keep him quiet and warm, and call a doctor immediately; if breathing
stops, give artificial respiration. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; give milk, eggs whites, or
large amounts of water and call a doctor immediately; no known antidote; treat the symptoms. EYES:
immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 min.; continue for another 15 min. if doctor has
not taken over. SKIN: immediately remove all clothing while in a shower and wash affected area with
abundant flowing water or soap and water for at least 15 min.; clean clothing; Toxicity by Inhalarion
(Threshold Limit Value): 5 ppm; Short-Term Inhalarion Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by
Inge~.on: Grade 2, LD, 0.5 to 5 gkg; Lute Toxicity: Carcinogenic in laboratory animals; Vapor (Gas)
Irritant Characteristics: Vapor is moderately irritating such that personnel will not usually tolerate
moderate or high vapor concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Fairly severe skin
irritant; may cause pain and second-degree burns after a few minutes contact; Odor Zhreshold: 0.05
PPm-
