III. Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview

Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Physical State: Liquid
Odor: Sweet, chloroform-like odor

Potential Health Effects

1. Eye Contact: Exposure may cause irritation, redness, and watering of the eyes. In severe cases, prolonged contact can lead to eye damage.

2. Skin Contact: Direct contact with the skin may result in irritation, dryness, or dermatitis. Protective gloves should be worn to prevent prolonged exposure.

3. Inhalation: Inhalation of fumes or dust may cause respiratory irritation, coughing, or difficulty breathing. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas.

4. Ingestion: Swallowing the substance can lead to gastrointestinal distress, nausea, or vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention if ingestion occurs.

IV. First Aid Measures

Eye Contact

• Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally.

• Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin Contact

• Wash the affected area with soap and water.

• Remove contaminated clothing and launder it before reuse.

• Consult a physician if irritation develops or persists.

Inhalation

• Move to fresh air immediately.

• Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.

• Seek medical help if symptoms persist.

Ingestion

• Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.

• Rinse your mouth with water and drink small amounts of milk or water.

• Call a poison control center or seek medical assistance immediately.
