Health Hazards - Acute and Chronic       INHALATION: HIGH ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS MAY LEAD TO ANAESTHETIC EFFECTS, INCLUDING LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. VERY HIGH EXPOSURES MAY CAUSE AN ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM AND PROVE SUDDENLY FATAL. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE ASPHYXIATION DUE TO REDUCED OXYGEN CONTENT. EYE CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID MAY CAUSE FREEZE BURNS

Explanation of Carcinogenity             MANUFACTURER STATES THAT NONE OF THE COMPONENTS IN THIS MATERIAL IS LISTED AS CARCINOGENIC 
Symptoms of Overexposure                 INHALATION:EXPOSURE TO HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN INDUCE ANESTHETIC EFFECTS PROGRESSING FROM DIZZINESS,WEAKNESS,NAUSEA TO UNCONSCIOUSNESS.CAN ACT AS AN ASPHYXIANT BY LIMITING AVAILABLE OXYGEN.AT VERY HIGH DOSES, CARDIAC SENSITIZATION TO CIRCULATING EPINEPHRINE-LIKE COMPOUNDS CAN RESULT IN FATAL CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS 
Medical Cond. Aggrevated by Exposure     N/R
Emergency/First Aid Procedures           INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE IF NECESSARY. EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER. CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: NOT CONSIDERED AS A POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. NOTE TO DOCTOR: USE SPECIAL CAUTION WITH CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS, SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE 

SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps if Material Released/Spilled       SHUT OFF LEAK IF WITHOUT RISK. VENTILATE THE SPILL AREA. IF POSSIBLE DIKE AND CONTAIN SPILLAGE.USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. PROTECT AGAINST FROST-BITE FROM EVAPORATING LIQUID.PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING SEWERS, SUMPS, OR PIT AREAS 
Neutralizing Agent                       NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER 
Waste Disposal Method                    COMPLY WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. RECLAIM BY DISTILLATION OR REMOVE TO A PERMITTED WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY 
Handling and Storage Precautions         KEEP AT TEMPERATURE NOT EXCEEDING 113F/45C.KEEP IN A COOL PLACE. KEEP CONTAINERS DRY. KEEP AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HEAT AND SOURCES OF IGNITION 
Other Precautions                        AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN WITH LIQUID OR COLD VAPORS. USE WITH SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS. DO NOT MIX WITH AIR OR USE WITH AIR ABOVE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
