Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact

(permeator), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by

redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of eye contact

(irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A2

(Suspected for human.) by ACGIH [Triton B For Synthesis]. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not

available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, liver. Repeated or prolonged

exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

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 immediate medical

attention.

Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Inhalation: Not available.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that

the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
