-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects of Overexposure
INHALATION: Major route of exposure. Vapor is heavier than air and
can cause suffocation by reducing the available oxygen for
breathing. Breathing high concentrations of vapor could
cause light-headedness, giddiness, shortness of breath,
and/or confusion, and may lead to narcosis, cardiac
irregularities, unconsciousness or even death.
EYES: Liquid contact will irritate eyes and may cause conjunctivitis.
SKIN: Not a corrosive or an irritant; however, repeated or prolonged
exposure can cause defatting of skin.
INGESTION: Single-dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting does
occur, the liquid can be aspirated into the lungs, which
can cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects. Human
psychotropic, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system
effects are possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer
artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.
EYES: Flush eyes with water 15 minutes. Lift eyelids occasionally
until no evidence of chemical is present. Call physician.
SKIN: Wash promptly with soap and water for 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Wash
clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: If conscious, give 2-4 glasses of water and induce
vomiting, or remove chemical by gastric lavage. Seek
medical attention immediately. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
NOTE: Do not treat victim with adrenalin. Overexposure especially if
accompanied by anoxia. May cause cardiac irritability and cause
respiratory distres. Maintain oxygenation until recovery.
COMMENTS: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational
overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous
system damage (sometimes called painters' syndrome).
Intentional misuse by concentrating and inhaling this
product may be harmful or fatal.
