Health I-huards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Vapor-proof goggles
and face shield; rubber gloves; air-supplied mask; Symptoms Following Exposure: Vapor irritates eyes,
nose, and throat; high concentrations can cause pulmonary edema. Liquid burns eyes and skin; General
Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove victim to fresh air and call a doctor; give artificial
respiration and oxygen if needed. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.; consult an eye doctor.
SKIN: flush with water, wash with soap and water; Toxicity by Inhalation Freshold Limit Value):
Data not available; Short-Term Exposure Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Data not
available; Lute Toxicity: Data not available; Vqor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapor is moderately
irritating such that personnel will not usually tolerate moderate or high concentrations; Liquid or Solid
Irnitant Characteristics: Causes smarting of the skin and first-degree burns on short exposure; may
cause secondary burns on long exposure; Odor Threshold less than 100 ppm.
