Absorption thru skin increases exposure. Primary irritation to eyes, redness, tearing, blurred vision. Liquid can cause eye irritation. Wash thoroughly after handling.INHALATION: Anesthetic. Irritates respiratory tract. Acute overexposure can cause serious nervous system depression. Vapor harmful. Breathing vapor can cause irritation. Acute overexposure can cause harm to kidneys, blood, nerves, liver, lungs. Repeated exposure over TLV can cause blindness.Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.SWALLOWING: Can be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Cannot be made non-poisonous. POISON ! Can cause irreversible nervous system damage & death. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Swallowing can cause abdominal irritation, nausea, vomiting & diarrhea. The symptoms of chemical pneumonitis may not show up for a few days. |
| From MSDS:Chronic overexposure can cause harm to kidneys, blood, nerves, liver, lungs. Persons with severe skin, liver or kidney problems should avoid use. |
| Pregnant women should avoid use. May cause birth defects. Leukemia been reported in humans from Benzene. This product contains less than 105 ppm of Benzene. Not considered hazardous in such low concentrations. Absorption thru skin may be harmful. Studies with laboratory animals indicate this product can cause damage to fetus. Product may contain impurities which may alter toxic properties. Depending on degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. |
| EYE CONTACT: For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes & get medical attention.SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact with skin immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap & water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.INHALATION: After high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin artificial respiration. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).SWALLOWING: Induce vomiting. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If no medical personnel are available & patient is conscious, ingestion of an alcoholic beverage may prevent blindness, death. Do NOT induce vomiting to an unconscious or convulsing person. |

| HANDLING: Isolate from oxidizers, heat, sparks, electric equipment & open flame. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing of vapor or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin & eyes. Wear OSHA Standard goggles or face shield. Consult Safety Equipment Supplier. Wear gloves, apron & footwear impervious to this material. Wash clothing before reuse. Avoid free fall of liquid. Ground containers when transferring. Do not flame cut, saw, drill, braze, or weld. Empty container very hazardous! Continue all label precautions! Check for peroxides prior to distillation, eliminate if found.STORAGE: Vapors may ignite explosively & spread long distances. Prevent vapor buildup. Put out pilot lights & turn off heaters, electric equipment & otherignition sources during use & until all vapors are gone. Keep in fireproof surroundings. Keep separated from strong oxidants, strong acids, food & feedstuffs. Keep cool.Keep in the dark. Do not store above 49 C/120 F. Keep container tightly closed & upright when not in use to prevent leakage. Do not allow to evaporate to near dryness. Addition of water orproper reducing agents will lessen peroxide formation. |
| Processing, use or contamination may change the waste management options. Recycle / dispose of observing national, regional, state, provincial and localhealth, safety & pollution laws. If in doubt, contact appropriate agencies. |
