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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-INHALATION:CNS EFFECTS,
    RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. EYES:SEVERE IRRITATION. INGESTION:HARMFUL
    OR FATAL, IRRITATION OF GI TRACT. ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNGS CAN
    CAUSE SEVERE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS, WHICH  CAN BE FATAL.
    SKIN:REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. CHRONIC:DERMATITIS.
    TARGET ORGANS:SKIN, LUNG, CNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PER NIOSH BULLETIN 50 A POTENTIAL
    OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENIC HAZARD EXISTS DUE TO HUMAN EXPOSURE TO
    DIESEL EXHAUST.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE:IRRITATION, REDNESS, TEARING, BLURRED
    VISION, CONJUCTIVITIS. SKIN:IRRITATION, DRYNESS, REDNESS, ITCHING.
    INHAL:HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, DROWZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITNING, TREMORS,
    CONVULSIONS, IRREGULAR H EART BEAT. INGESTION: G/I IRRITATION AND
    SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO INHALATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EYE, SKIN, HEART, CNS, AND
    RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGARAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE.

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

First Aid:SKIN:REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALATION:REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR & RESTORE BREATHING IF NECESSARY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    EYE:I MMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING
    EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:GET IMMEDIATE
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. NOTHING BY MOUTH IF

    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO FIGHT FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS. DIRECT WATER SPRAY MAY SPREAD FIRE
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
    TRAVEL ALONG GROUND OR FLOOR, THEN 'FLASH BACK' FROM A DISTANT
    IGNITION SOURCE. TOXIC FUMES & GASES ARE PRODUCED BY FIRE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. SHUT
    OFF SOURCE IF POSSIBLE & CONTAIN SPILL. REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES.
    KEEP OUT OF WATER RESOURCES AND SEWERS. ABSORB IN INERT MATERIAL OR
