EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless viscous liquid.
Good laboratory procedures are recommended when handling this
compound. This is expected to be a low hazard for usual industrial
handling.
Target Organs: None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause mild eye irritation.
Skin:
Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Inhalation:
Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Chronic:
Prolonged exposure may cause eye irritation.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation develops, get medi
cal aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do NOT induce
vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water. Wash mouth out with water. Get medical aid if
irritation or symptoms occur.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
