Potential Acute Health Effects:

Very hazardous in case of ingestion, . Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Slightly

hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation (lung sensitizer). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue

damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce

burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing,

choking, or shortness of breath.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.

The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, mucous membranes, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, upper

respiratory tract.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged

contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged

exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at

least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin Contact:

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated

clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before

reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

Serious Skin Contact:

Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get

medical attention immediately.

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. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:
