<br />1 ppm = 1.15 mg/m3
<br />Exposure routes via inhalation, skin and/or
<br />eye contact (liquid). Colorless and odorless
<br />gas. Chemical asphyxiant (prevent uptake of
<br />oxygen by the cells). Symptoms of exposure
<br />include headache, nausea, weakness,
<br />dizziness, and confusion. Target organs are
<br />the cardiovascular system, lungs, blood, and
<br />central nervous system.

<br />Skin, eye, inhalation, and ingestion hazard.
<br />Colorless liquid with a characteristic ether-
<br />like odor. Highly toxic; an irritant to skin,
<br />eyes, mucous membranes; absorbed through
<br />intact skin; solvent dermatitis a CNS
<br />depressant; a suspected human carcinogen
<br />(liver and kidneys). Reacts violently with
<br />light metals, sodium, aluminum, magnesium;
<br />thermal decomposition can produce highly
<br />toxic, corrosive gases, phosgene and
<br />hydrogen chloride.

<br />Colorless liquid with an almond-like odor.
<br />Signs and symptoms of exposure include
<br />irritation of the eyes, skin, nose; drowsiness,
<br />incoordination; central nervous system
<br />depression. Animal studies have shown
<br />injury to liver, lungs and kidneys.
<br />Incompatible with strong oxidizers.

<br />1 ppm = 4.03 mg/m3
<br />Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption,
<br />ingestion, skin and/or eye contact. Causes
<br />irritation of the eyes, skin, throat; dizziness,
<br />headache, nausea, dyspnea (breathing
<br />difficulty); liver, kidney disturbance;
<br />pneumonitis. Target Organs: Eyes, skin,
<br />respiratory system, central nervous system,
<br />liver, and kidneys. Potential occupational
<br />carcinogen.

<br />Colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. Air
<br />odor threshold of 0.092 – 0.60 ppm. LEL:
<br />0.8%, UEL: 6.7%. Moderately toxic by
<br />ingestion, inhalation, mucous membranes,
<br />and skin absorption. Irritant to the skin and
