HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: This material is irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Absorption through skin or inhalation of heated vapor and mist may result in central nervous system and adverse reproductive effects. Animal studies indicate high doses may cause adverse reproductive effects. HMIS Classification: Health: 2 Flammability: 1 Physical Hazard: 0 NFPA Rating: Health: 2 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting th upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. e ater. Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving two glasses of water and sticking fingers down throat; never give anything to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention. Vapors or mists from this material can irritate the nose, throat and lungs, and cause signs and sysmptoms of central nervous system depression, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse. Flush with copious amounts of w If irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. 5.
