EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: CORROSIVE, COMPONENTS OF THE PRODUCT MAY AFFECT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IN CONTACT WITH SKIN.



ROUTES OF ENTRY:



POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EYES: ORNEAL EDEMA MAY GIVE RISE TO A PERCEPTION OF "BLUE HAZE" OR "FOG" AROUND

LIGHTS. EXPOSED INDIVIDUALS MAY SEE RINGS AROUND BRIGHT LIGHTS. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY

AND HAS NO KNOWN RESIDUAL EFFECT. PRODUCT VAPOR CAN CAUSE GLAUCOPSIA (CORNEAL EDEMA)

WHEN ABSORBED INTO THE TISSUE OF THE EYE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE. CAUSES EYE BURNS.

MAY CAUSE BLINDESS.



SKIN: CAUSES SKIN BURNS. IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN, MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS

SYSTEM EFFECTS, SUCH AS HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, CONFUSION , BREATHING DIFFICULTIES.



INGESTION: IF INGESTED, SEVERE BURNS OF THE MOUTH AND THROAT AS WELL AS A DANGER OF

PERFORATION OF THE ESOPHAGUS AND THE STOMACH. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.



INHALATION: CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT BURNS. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL

NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, SUCH AS HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, CONFUSION, BREATHING

DIFFICULTIES. SEVERE CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE CAN RESULT IN RESPIRATORY FAILURE.
