EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO MATERIAL
SKIN:
Prolonged skin contact will cause irritation. Skin absorption will lead to nausea, vomiting, possibly
leading to convulsions. Primary skin irritation study (rabbit) for the active ingredient showed signs of
acute systemic toxicity (ataxia, cyanosis, apathy) after 24 hours.
EYE:
Eye contact will cause severe irritation or burning, possibly leading to loss of sight.
INHALATION:
If misted, causes irritation of mucous membranes, coughing and difficulty in breathing.
INGESTION:
Causes smarting and burning sensations, inflammation, burns and painful blisters of the mouth, throat
and digestive tract. May result in severe swelling of larynx, paralysis of skeletal muscles affecting the
ability to breath, circulatory shock and convulsions.

FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN:
Flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a physician.
EYE:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and contact a physician.
INGESTION:
Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg whites, gelatin
solutions; or if these are not available, drink large quantities of water. Call a physician immediately.
PHYSICIAN – Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures
against circulatory shock, respiratory depression and convulsion may be needed.
