esophagus and digestive tract. Exposure may cause anemia and other blood abnormalities. May be
harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and
inflammation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization dermatitis and possible destruction or

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 at once. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid at once. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. If victim is conscious, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid at once.
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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Combustion generates toxic fumes.
