Identify if the hazardous chemical is a Particularly Hazardous Substance (PHS) by checking the box of the chemical, which corresponds to the hazardous chemical line item(s) listed above. A chemical is a
PHS if it is a select carcinogen, reproductive toxin, or has a high acute toxicity. This information is available from the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or manufacturer.

Explain Health Hazard Effects:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
Anesthetic liquid and vapor.
May cause central nervous system damage.
Material produces anesthesia effects. Inhalation at a concentration of 0.5-3.0% can induce general anesthesia in 7 to 10 minutes, with analgesia, muscle relaxation and loss of consciousness.
Symptoms include rapid respiration, diminished mental alertness, impaired muscular coordination, faulty judgement, depression of all sensations, emotional instability and fatigue.
Isoflurane may cause a slight decrease in intellectual function and mood changes. In susceptible individuals, it may trigger malignant hyperthermia.
4. Indicate the safety controls that will be employed to minimize risk and prevent release of the agent.
