3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

 

·         EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Danger!  Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.  Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion.  Excessive exposure to mists or vapors generated by heat may cause irritation to eyes, nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract.  Harmful or fatal if swallowed.  Pulmonary aspiration hazard.  While ingesting or vomiting, may enter lungs and produce damage.  Harmful if inhaled.  Overexposure may lead to serious disturbances of heart rhythm and nervous system effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches,  paralysis,  loss of consciousness and even death.  May cause skin irritation.  May cause eye irritation.  Contains material or materials that can cause cancer.  May cause target organ or system damage to the following:   central nervous system,   eye,   kidney,   liver,   respiratory system,   skin,   blood,  cardiovascular system,   heart,   peripheral nervous system,   bone marrow,
