2 Potential Health Effects Inhalation Eye contact Skin contact Ingestion Chronic Health Hazard Exposure Guidelines Target Organs Symptoms : Harmful if inhaled and may cause delayed lung injury. Can cause severe eye, skin and respiratory tract burns. Risk of serious damage to the lungs (by inhalation). May cause nose, throat, and lung irritation. Inhalation of aerosol may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract. May cause central nervous system effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, breathing difficulties. Severe cases of overexposure can result in respiratory failure. Inhalation of vapors and/or aerosols in high concentration may cause irritation of respiratory system. Harmful if inhaled. : Causes eye burns. May cause blindness. Severe eye irritation. : Causes skin burns. If absorbed through the skin, may cause central nervous system effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, breathing difficulties. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Highly toxic by absorption. : If ingested, severe burns of the mouth and throat, as well as a danger of perforation of the oesophagus and the stomach. Harmful if swallowed. : This product contains no listed carcinogens according to IARC, ACGIH, NTP and/or OSHA in concentrations of 0.1 percent or greater.

Aggravated Medical Condition Eye disease Skin disorders and Allergies. Asthma. Neurological disorders 4. FIRST AID MEASURES General advice Eye contact Skin contact : Seek medical advice. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. : Hold eyelids apart, initiate and maintain gentle and continuous irrigation until the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly available, continue to irrigate for one hour. : Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extraneous chemical, if possible to do so without delay. Initiate and maintain gentle and continuous irrigation until the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly 2/9

3 available, continue to irrigate for one hour. Cover wound with sterile dressing. Ingestion Inhalation : Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side. : If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. Move to fresh air. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Specific hazards Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Further information : Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Dry sand. Limestone powder. : Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide. May generate ammonia gas. May generate toxic nitrogen oxide gases. Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Downwind personnel must be evacuated. Fire or intense heat may cause violent rupture of packages. May form explosive mixtures in air. : Avoid contact with the skin. A face shield should be worn. Use personal protective equipment. Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses., Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. 6.
