Section 3: Hazards Identification
Eyes:  This product causes irritation, redness, and pain
Skin:  May cause skin irritation.
Inhalation:  Product may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract and may cause caughing and sneezing. May cause kidney damage, metabolic acidosis, accelerated heart rate, low blood pressure, central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, coma, pulmonary oedema, systematic poisoning and death.
Ingestion:  Ingestion of large amounts may cause nasea, gastrointestinal upset and abdominal pain. May cause kidney damage, metabolic acidosis, accelerated heart rate, low blood pressure, central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, diarrhea, nasea and vomiting, coma, pulmonary oedema, systematic poisoning and death.
Chronic:  Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. 

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eyes:  Remove contact lenses. Flush with water or saline for 20 minutes. Get medical aid if symptoms persist.
Skin:  Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation developes and persists, obtain medical advice.
Inhalation:  Immediately remove from exposure to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary resucitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Get medical aid immediately.
Ingestion:  Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconcious person. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse out mouth and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. DO NOT induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. IMMEDIATELY transport victim to an emergency facility.
