May be absorbed through the skin. Inhalation of vapours may be irritating to the nose and throat. Inhalation of high concentrations may result in nausea, vomiting, headache, ringing in the ears, and severe breathing difficulties which may be delayed in onset.
Chronic Effects
Chronic inhalation can cause headache, loss of appetite, nervousness and pale skin. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact may cause a skin rash. Repeated exposure of the eyes to high concentrations of
vapor may cause reversible eye damage.
