Additional Information |
| DANGER!! This material emits TOXIC fumes at high tempertures. Effects of over exposure:irritation of the eyes,skin upper respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Methemoglobin formation which in sufficent amounts can cause cyanosis.,this onset can be delayed 2-4 hours. Acute:the acute systems will be more severe than the effects of over exposure.Chronic: continues to be more severe than the effects of over exposure and acute. Target organs: blood and central nervous system. Conditions aggravated/target organs. Persons with pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions may be more susceptible. |
