Possible Health Effects
Inhalation: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Mist may cause
irritation
to,the upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is believed to be low. Small amounts
swallowed
incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause
injury;
swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. Ingestion may
cause
gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.
Skin Contact: Short single prolonged exposure not likely to cause significant
skin
irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin
irritation,
even a burn. May cause more severe response if material is
confined to
skin. Material may be handled at elevated temperatures; contact
