toxic to blood, kidneys, liver, brain, peripheral nervous
system, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous
system (CNS),
optic nerve. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the
substance can produce target organs damage.

FIRST AID MEASURES:
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately
flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes,
keeping eyelids
open. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of
water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before
reuse. Get medical
attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the
contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek
medical attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical
attention if symptoms appear.
Serious Inhalation:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is
not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Seek medical
attention.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious
person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

toxin
[PROVEN]. Classified Reproductive system/toxin/female,
Reproductive system/toxin/male [POSSIBLE]. The
substance is toxic
to blood, the reproductive system, liver, upper
respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system (CNS).
Repeated or prolonged
exposure to the substance can produce target organs
damage.

FIRST AID MEASURES:
Same as in Methanol FIRST AID MEASURES

May cause severe irritation, conjunctivitis, corneal burns,
based
on animal testing. No human information available.
Ingested:
May cause irritation and burning of the mouth and
throat,
nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, and CNS depression.
A
normal component of food and alcoholic beverages;
ingestion
is not a normal route of occupational exposure.

FIRST AID MEASURES:
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
If
irritation develops, get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get
medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Do NOT induce vomiting. If
conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get
medical aid if irritation or symptoms occur.
Aspiration
during ingestion or vomiting can result in severe life-
threatening
lung damage, chemical pneumonitis, or pulmonary
edema.
Effects of Chronic Exposure to Product:
Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis.
There
are no reports of other health effects from long-term
exposure.
