<br />be irritating to the eyes. Direct contact can
<br />be highly irritating to the skin and can cause
<br />dermatitis. Exposure to high vapor
<br />concentrations may cause headaches,
<br />nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms.
<br />Includes human carcinogens. Reacts with
<br />acids and oxidizers; produces acrid smoke,
<br />toxic gases when involved in fires, thermal
<br />decomposition.
<br />Exposure to all routes should be carefully
<br />controlled to levels as low as possible.

<br />A human carcinogen; a powerful allergen,
<br />inhalation and contact causes burning,
<br />swelling and redness in the eyes, nose,
<br />throat and skin; ingestion causes nausea,
<br />vomiting, nervous system effects in the
<br />extremities (numbness, tingling, weakness);
<br />long term exposure can cause liver, kidney,
<br />and blood damage. A fire hazard in the form
