This material will probably cause chemical burns of the mouth , pharynx, esophagus, and stomach in humans following ingestion. Health effects of exposure: Isopropanol ( 67-63-0 ) Isopropanol: Inhalation irritant. Indefinite carcinogenic determination (IARC). Toxicity is low via dermal and moderate via oral and intraperitoneal routes. An eye irritant. Acts as a local irritant and in high concentrations as a narcotic. It can cause corneal burns and often eye damage. It is not considered an important toxic hazard. Ingestion or inhalation of large quantities of the vapor may cause flushing, headache, dizziness, mental depression, nausea, vomiting, narcosis, anesthesia and coma. 100 ml can be fatal. The following is a summary of TSCA Section 4 Test Rule results: large doses given to pregnant rats and rabbits ( > 800 mg/kg/day and 480 mg/kg/day respectively) produced evidence of toxicity in the mothers but little evidence of fetal or embryo toxicity (except for slight decreases in fetal weights in rats). No evidence of teratogenicity was noted in either species. Known effects on other illnesses: Listed carcinogen: Pre-existing skin and eye disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. IARC: No NTP: No OSHA: No Other: No

HMIS: Health: 3 Flammability: 3 Reactivity: 0 Personal protection: H

Section 04 - First aid measures

After inhalation: Get victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration or oxygen if breathing has stopped. Get prompt medical attention. Do not give fluids if victim is unconscious. After contact with skin: In case of contact, immediately wash with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Isolate contaminated clothing for cleaning or disposal. Do not reuse unless thoroughly cleaned. Dispose of contaminated leatherwear. Get immediate medical attention. After contact with eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing eyes within 1 minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Seek medical attention immediately. After ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical help. Advice to doctor / Treatment: Due to the corrosive nature of this material, swallowing may result in severe ulceration, inflammation, and possible perforation of the upper alimentary tract, with hemorrhage and fluid loss. Aspiration of this product during induced emesis can result in severe lung injury. Evacuation of stomach contents should be done by means least likely to cause aspiration,
