Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:UNKNOWN	  IARC:UNKNOWN	  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION OF MIST OR VAPOR MAY
    CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION OR AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS,
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES MAY
    CAUSE IRRITATION. INGESTION MAY R ESULT IN ASPIRATION WHICH CAUSES
    LUNG DAMAGE. CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
    DERMATITIS.

    POLYEMIA, LEUKOCYTOSIS, TRACHEITIS, BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONIA, MALAISE.
    SKIN CONTACT: DEFATTING AND DERMATITIS. INGESTION: LOCAL IRRITATION
    WITH A BURNING SENSATION  IN THE MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH,
    VOMITING, BELCHING, AND DIARRHEA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREEXISTING SKIN AND RESPIRATORY
    DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR AND PROVIDE OXYGEN IF
    BREATHING DIFFICULT. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: FLUSH WITH LOTS
    OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION  IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATEDCLOTHES. FLUSH
    WITH WATER THEN WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
