Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION TO
    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE
    HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, CNS DEPRESSION. EYES: CONTACT WITH
    THE LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES IRR ITATION. PROLONGED AND REPEATED
    EXPOSURE TO VAPOR MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. SKIN: PROLONGED AND
    REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DRYING AND CRACKING OF THE SKIN, WHICH
    RESULT IN SKIN IRRITATION AND DERMITI TIS. INGESTION: HARMFUL IF
    SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, HEADACHE,
    DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION TO UPPER
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE HEADACHE,
    DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, CNS DEPRESSION. EYES: CONTACT WITH THE
    LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES IRR ITATION. PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURE
    TO VAPOR MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. SKIN: PROLONGED AND REPEATED
    CONTACT CAUSES DRYING AND CRACKING OF THE SKIN, WHICH RESULT IN
    SKIN IRRITATION AND DERMITI TIS. INGESTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
    MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS
    AND NAUSEA.

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

    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES. LIFTI NG UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER,
    THEN WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, IF
    CONSCIOUS, GIVE 1-2 GLASSES  OF WATER, INDUCE VOMITING AND CALL A
    PHYSICIAN. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS OR DROWSY
    PERSON.
