=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF
    INGESTION. VERY HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT, OF EYE CONTACT,
    OF INHALATION. HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT. THE AMOUNT OF
    TISSUE DAMAGE DEPENDS ON LENGTH OF CON TACT. SEVERE OVEREXPOSURE
    CAN PRODUCELUNG DAMAGE, CHOKING, UNCONSCIOUS OR DEATH.
    OVER-EXPOSURE BY INHALATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CLASSIFIED 2B (POSSIBLE FOR HUMAN) BY
    IARC
Effects of Overexposure:THE SUBSTANCE IS TOXIC TO BLOOD, KIDNEYS,
    LUNGS, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, MUCOUS MEMBRANES. REPEATED OR PROLONGED
    EXPOSURE TO THESUBSTANCE CAN PRODUCE TARGET ORGANS DAMAGE. EYE
    CONTACT CAN RESULT IN CORNEA L DAMAGE OR BLINDNESS. SKIN CONTACT
    CAN PRODUCE INFLAMMATION & BLISTERING. INHALATION OF DUST WILL
    PRODUCE IRRITATION TO GASTROINTESTINAL OR RESPIRATORY TRACT,
    CHARACTERIZED BY BURNING, SNEEZING AND C OUGHING. PROLONGED
    EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN SKIN BURNS AND ULCERATIONS. INFLAMMATION OF
    THE EYE IS CHARACTERIZED BY REDNESS, WATERING AND ITCHING. SKIN
    INFLAMMATION IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITCHING, SCALING,	REDDENING OR
    OCCASIONALLY BLISTERING.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST15
    MIN. KEEPING EYELIDS OPEN. COLD WATER MAY BE USED. DO NOTUSE AN EYE
