3: Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact
(irritant), of ingestion, . Hazardous in case of skin
contact (corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive). Non-corrosive for
lungs. Liquid or spray mist may produce
tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and
respiratory tract. Skin contact may
produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe
irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by
coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can
result in death. Inflammation of the eye is
characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening,
or, occasionally, blistering.

The substance is toxic to blood, the reproductive system, liver, upper
respiratory tract, skin, central nervous
system (CNS).
The substance may be toxic to kidneys, heart, gastrointestinal tract,
cardiovascular system.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target
organs damage. Repeated or prolonged
contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe
skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading
to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general
deterioration of health by an accumulation in
one or many human organs.
