SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (ACUTE EFFECTS)
PRODUCT VAPOR IN LOW CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE LACRIMATION,
CONJUNCTIVITIS AND CORNEAL EDEMA WHEN ABSORBED INTO THE TISSUE OF
THE EYE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE. CORNEAL EDEMA MAY GIVE RISE TO A
PERCEPTION OF 'BLUE HAZE'' OR 'FOG'' AROUND LIGHTS. THE EFFECT
IS TRANSIENT AND HAS NO KNOWN RESIDUAL EFFECT. BURNS OF THE EYE
MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS. CONTACT OF UNDILUTED PRODUCT WITH THE EYES
OR SKIN QUICKLY CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION AND PAIN AND MAY CAUSE
BURNS, NECROSIS AND PERMANENT INJURY.
INHALATION OF VAPORS MAY SEVERELY DAMAGE CONTACTED TISSUE AND
PRODUCE SCARRING. INHALATION OF AEROSOLS AND MISTS MAY SEVERELY
DAMAGE CONTACTED TISSUE AND PRODUCE SCARRING.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (POSSIBLE LONGER TERM EFFECTS)
REPEATED AND/OR PROLONGED EXPOSURES MAY RESULT IN: BLOOD
CHEMISTRY CHANGES (SUCH AS CYANOSIS OR LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS),
ADVERSE RESPIRATORY EFFECTS (SUCH AS COUGH, TIGHTNESS OF CHEST OR
SHORTNESS OF BREATH), ADVERSE EYE EFFECTS (SUCH AS CONJUNCTIVITIS
OR CORNEAL DAMAGE), ADVERSE SKIN EFFECTS (SUCH AS RASH,
IRRITATION OR CORROSION).
EFFECTS FROM INHALATION OF VAPORS MAY BE DELAYED. REPEATED
AND/OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY
CAUSE: SORE THROAT WHICH ARE TRANSIENT.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
ASTHMA
CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE (E.G. BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA)
EYE DISEASE
SKIN DISORDERS AND ALLERGIES
