Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes and skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury. May cause eye burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause severe irritation and possible burns. If absorbed, may cause symptoms similar to those for ingestion.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause respiratory muscle paralysis. Other symptoms include lethargy, irritation, sore throat, nose bleeds, hoarseness, cough, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fever.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation and ingestion.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam.
