Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition. Although responses have
not been consistent across routes of exposure, species, or sex, some animal studies suggest that
hydroquinone is weakly tumorigenic for rodents following the administration of high oral doses. In contrast,
long-term epidemiological studies of employees engaged in the manufacturing and use of hydroquinone
have shown no evidence of increased cancer risk from exposure to hydroquinone.

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water. Seek medical attention.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Allow the victim to rest in a well-ventilated area. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water or
milk. Seek medical attention.

Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish
cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional
authority requirements.
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Neutralize

Use good general ventilation(>10 air changes/hour) and engineering controls (local exhaust, filter's,
process enclosures if necessary) to maintain airborne levels below ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
and OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits(PEL). Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower is proximal
to the work-station location.
