The liquid may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and maybe harmful. Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Contact doctor immediately.The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing mild, temporary irritation.The vapour is mildly discomforting to the eyes.The liquid is harmful to the skin if exposure is prolonged and is capable of causing skin reactionswhich may lead to dermatitis from repeated exposure over long periods.The vapour/mist is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Acute effects frominhalation of high vapour concentrations may cause chest and nasal irritation with coughing,sneezing, headache and even nauseaChronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and bloodchanges [PATTYS]. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritationand possible dermatitisVersion 1.1 Issued on: 13/12/06Reason for issue: Remove toxic substance schedule, update HSNO codeCreated by M Parsler
