IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing.
Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and
corrosive products.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES: Irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
INGESTION: Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs, liquid can be aspirated into lungs,
causing chemical pneumonia/systemic effects. Psychotropic, CNS, and gastrointestinal effects possible.
INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Can cause severe eye irritation.
SKIN: Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite (“cold” burn.)
INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, nausea, headaches,
paralysis and loss of consciousness.)
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN: In case of cold burns (frostbite) caused by rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquids, get medical
attention promptly.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, give two glasses of water. Seek
medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained
personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as
epinephrine, should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support. Treatment of
overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.
