A 1985 NTP, 2 yr. animal inhalation study report states that there is "clear evidence of carcinogenicity" in
mice and female rats. Experience in industry has shown no increased incidences of cancer of any type in
the worker population. IARC lists this product as having inadequate evidence in humans and inadequate
evidence in animals to evaluate carcinogenicity, (Group 3).
Medical limitations: Persons with angina or heart disease should not be exposed to this product.
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression, ranging
from light-headedness, nausea and vomiting to unconsciousness and death.
Skin Contact: Mildly irritating to skin. Skin contact may produce a burning sensation. Prolonged or
repeated contact may cause skin to become reddened, rough and dry due to the removal of natural oils and
may result in dermatitis.

Skin Absorption: This product may be absorbed through the skin, although not expected to produce
toxicity by this route.
Eye Contact: An irritant to the eyes, causing pain, lacrimation, and general inflammation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract with vomiting. If
vomiting results in aspiration, chemical pneumonia could follow. Absorption through the gastrointestinal
tract may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression ranging from light-headedness to
unconsciousness.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Acute: Excessive inhalation or ingestion may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression
ranging from light-headedness, to unconsciousness and death. Exposure of the eyes and skin may produce
irritation.
Chronic: Can cause headache, mental confusion, depression, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
cough, loss of sense of balance, and visual disturbances. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Skin: Flush skin thoroughly with soap and water. If skin becomes dry, apply moisturizing cream or
petroleum jelly. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear which cannot be decontaminated. Seek
medical attention if needed.
Eyes: Object is to flush material out then seek medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with large
amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire eye surface.
Contact physician if needed.
Inhalation: If respiratory discomfort or irritation occurs, move to fresh air. If breathing has stopped,
resuscitate and administer oxygen if readily available. Seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Contact physician at once.
