Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: All-purpose canister
mask, chemical safety goggles, rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: SKIN: prolonged or
frequently repeated exposures may lead to drying. INHALATION: headaches, dizziness, nausea,
irritation of respiratory passages and eyes; General Treatment for Exposure: EYES: in cause of contact,
flush with water for at least 15 min. INHALATION: remove from exposure immediately. Call a
physician. If breathing is irregular or stopped, start resuscitation, administer oxygen. INGESTION:
induce vomiting and call a physician; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): 150-200 ppm;
