EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Light sensitive.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears). Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May cause central nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure produces central nervous system depression. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:

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:
Do not induce vomiting. 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.
