EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow liquid.
Danger! May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through
the skin or swallowed. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause
long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Danger of
cumulative effects.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system,
eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the
skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive
tract. May cause nausea and vomiting. May form methemoglobin which in
sufficient concentration causes cyanosis (bluish discoloration of
skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May
cause respiratory difficulty and coughing.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. No information found.
Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin
which in sufficient concentrations causes cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious
and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
