Safety and Handling

DANGER!

Emergency Overview
Flammable liquid and vapor. Inhalation may cause central nervous system effects. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. Aspiration hazard if swallowed - can enter lungs and cause damage. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Use personal protective equipment. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Obtain medical attention. Move to fresh air.
