Minor quantities of othernon hazardous ingredients are also possible.The TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculatedover a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is anexposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for morethan 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. Theterm "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never beexceeded, even briefly.SECTION 4FIRST AID MEASURESGeneral Information:You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned orirritated by this product.
