3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:Very
hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (permeator). Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and
ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:Very
hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of
skin contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not
available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not
available.
Section
4: First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact:Check for and
remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at
least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an
eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact:After contact with
skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the
contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly
careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used.
Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious
Skin Contact:Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well
ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation:Evacuate the
victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical
attention.
Ingestion:Do
not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.
