Chronic Effects<br />
LD50 (oral, rat): 2460 mg/kg<br />
LC50 (inhalation, rat)4H: 7551 ppm<br />

Harmful by inhalation. Vapour or mist may cause irritation of the nose and<br />
throat at high concentrations. Early symptoms include weakness, headache,<br />
dizziness, confusion, anxiety, nausea and vomiting.<br />
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, with<br />
resultant headaches, nausea, and vomiting. May cause nervous system,<br />
respiratory system and kidney effects. May cause similar symptoms to those<br />
seen if product is inhaled. Effects may be delayed for several hour.<br />
Harmful in contact with the skin. Will cause irritation in contact with the<br />
skin, which can result in drying and defatting of the skin and possible<br />
dermatitis.<br />
Irritating to eyes. Eye contact may cause severe irritation with reversible<br />
corneal changes. Vapours may cause irritation.<br />
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting leading to dermatitis.<br />
