Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:VAPORS MAY BE IRRITATING TO SKIN,
    EYES, NOSE & THROAT. LIQUID MAY BE IRRITATIONG TO SKIN AND EYES.
    PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY RESULT IN DERMATITIS. EYE CONTACT MAY
    RESULT IN TEMPORARY CORNEAL DAMAGE.  INGESTION MAY CAUSE CENTRAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE MAY
    INCLUDE KIDNEY/LIVER DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS CHEMICAL IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
    NTP, OR OSHA AS A SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
    VOMITING, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS, SUFFOCATION, LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE,
    AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) DEPRESSION. INGESTION MAY CAUSE
    NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHES, D IZZINESS, GASTROINTESTINAL
    IRRITATION AND CNS DEPRESSION. VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN &
    RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH CHRONIC RESPIRATORY
    DISEASE, SKIN DISORDERS AND EYE DISORDERS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK
    FROM EXPOSURE. TARGET ORGANS SKIN,EYES,RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS).

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
    WATER FOR 15 MINU TES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH WITH
    WATER. INGESTION: GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO DRINK ONLY IF
    CONSCIOUS AND INDUCE VOMITING. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
