Potential Acute Health Effects: Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant, skin permeable), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eye, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce sever irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can result in death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or occasionally, blistering.Potential

Chronic Health Effects: The substance is toxic to upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
