=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO
    EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. SKIN: REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DEFATTING .
    EYES: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION. INGESTION: SLIGHTLY TOXIC.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF BENZENE:
    (CAS NO. 71-43-2) (SUSPECT CARCINOGEN).
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
    RESULT IN HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. SKIN: REPEATED CONTACT
    CAUSES CHAPPING AND DRYING. EYES: CAUSES REDNESS AND SWELLING.
    INGESTION: CAUSES NAUSEA, VOM ITING, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND
    UNCINSCIOUSNESS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. F BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
    GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GIVE OXYGEN BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL,
    CALL PHYSICIAN. SKIN: WASH CONTACT AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.  EYES:
    FLUSH THO ROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER
    AND LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
