Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: INHALATION:
    VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.  HIGH VAPOR
    CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,  DROWSINESS, CNS
    DEPRESSION. EYES: CONTACT WITH  THE LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES
    IRRITATION. PROLONGED AND REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL
    INJURY. SKIN: PROLONGED AND REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DRYING AND
    CRACKING OF THE SKIN, WHICH RESULT IN SKIN	DERMATITIS. INGESTION:
    HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION,
    HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.  HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN PRODUCE
    HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,  DROWSINESS, CNS DEPRESSION. EYES: CONTACT
    WITH THE LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUS ES IRRITATION. PROLONGED AND REPEATED
    EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. SKIN: PROLONGED AND REPEATED
    CONTACT CAUSES DRYING AND CRACKING OF THE SKIN, WHICH RESULT IN
    SKIN DERMATITIS. INGESTION: HA RMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND
    NAUSEA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED.

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

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.  IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES, LI FTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER,
    THEN WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, IF
    CONSCIOUS, GIVE ONE OR T WO GLASSES OF WATER TO DRINK, INDUCE
    VOMITING AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSCIOUS OR DROWSY PERSON.
