Section 3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Extremely hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of
Health Effects ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact
(permeator). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth
and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation
of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Inflammation of the eye is
characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening,
or, occasionally, blistering.
Potential Chronic CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
Health Effects TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous membranes.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged
contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
