V. HEALTH HAZARD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carcinogen Information: DID NOT CAUSE CANCER IN ANIMAL STUDIES.
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swallowing: SINGLE DOSE ORAL TOXICITY IS LOW. ORAL LD50
(MALE RAT)1492 MG/KG. MAY CAUSE
GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION OR ULCERATION.
Skin Absorption: LD50 (RABBIT) 2871 MG/KG. SINGLE PROLONGED
SKIN EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN MATERIAL BEING
ABSORBED IN HARMFUL AMOUNTS.
Inhalation: SINGLE EXPOSURE TO VAPORS IS NOT LIKELY TO BE
HAZARDOUS.
Skin contact: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN IRRITATION.
Eye Contact: MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION WITH CORNEA INJURY,
WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT VISION
IMPAIRMENT.
Chronic Effects: EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE LIVER, KIDNEY,
GASTROINTESTINAL AND MUSCULAR EFFECTS. SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY BE
NAUSEA, VOMITING, ABNOMINAL CRAMPS AND
DIARRHEA.
Other Hazard: HIGH DIETARY LEVELS CAUSED TOXIC EFFECTS
(WEIGHT AND VIABILITY REDUCTION) IN RATS ON A
REPRODUCTION TEST. RESULT OF MUTAGENICITY TESTS
IN ANIMALS HAVE BEEN INCONCLUSIVE.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swallowing: DILUTE BY GIVING 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF WATER TO
DRINK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN
OR POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.
Skin: WASH CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER.
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS. LAUNDER CLOTHING BEFORE RE-USE.
Inhalation: MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF STOPPED BREATHING,
GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Eyes: FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES, HOLDING EYES OPEN. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Notes to Physician: NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. GIVE SUPPORTIVE CARE.
TREATMENT BASED ON JUDGEMENT OF THE PHYSICIAN
