Jul 06 07 10:28a Porter #4513 8638581559 P.4 <br /> EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation. <br /> SKIN CONTACT: May cause slight skin irritation. <br /> INHALATION: Vapor and /or spray mist may be harmful if inhaled. Vapor irritates <br /> eyes, nose, and throat. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause <br /> irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system <br /> damage. <br /> CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Avoid long -term and repeated contact. This product <br /> contans crystalline silica which has been classified as a human carcinogen by <br /> IARC. Long -term exposures may also lead to a disabling lung condition known as <br /> silicosis. The risk depends on the duration and level of exposure to dust from <br /> sanding surfaces or mist from spray applications. Use of appropriate personal <br /> protective equipment and/or engineering controls should be employed whenever <br /> these types of operations are being performed. This product contains carbon <br /> black which has been rated an IARC 2B carcinogen due to animal data. <br /> Ethylbenzene has been reported by NTP to cause cancer in laboratory animals <br /> following a chronic (2 year) inhalation exposure. Carcinogenicity was found in <br /> the kidneys of rats and the lung and liver of mice at the 750 ppm dose level. <br /> The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 75 ppm. The International Agency for <br /> Research on Cancer (IARC).has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a <br /> possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for <br /> carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in <br /> exposed humans. High exposures to xylenes in some animal studies have been <br /> reported to cause health effects on the developing embryo and fetus. These <br /> effects were often at levels toxic to the mother. The significance of these <br /> findings to humans has not been determined. <br /> SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness, <br /> and loss of coordination are indications that solvent levels are too high. <br /> Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can <br /> be harmful or fatal. Redness, itching, burning sensation and visual disturbances <br /> may indicate excessive eye contact. Dryness, itching, cracking, burning, <br /> redness, and swelling are conditions associated with excessive skin contact. <br /> MED_CAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not applicable. <br /> `r3ARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to <br /> cause cancer. <br /> SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES <br /> IMPORTANT FIRST AID INFORMATION: If ingestion, irritation, any type of <br /> overexposure or symptoms of overexposure occur during or persists after use of <br /> this product, contact a POISON CONTROL CENTER, EMERGENCY ROOM OR PHYSICIAN <br /> immediately; have Material Safety Data Sheet information available. <br /> INGESTION: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Sips of <br /> water may be given. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. <br /> Contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician right away as <br /> further treatment may be necessary. <br /> EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lens and pour a gentle stream of warm water through <br /> the affected eye for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a <br /> poison control center, emergency room, or physician as further treatment may be <br /> necessary. <br /> SKIN CONTACT: Run a gentle stream of water over the affected area for 15 <br /> minutes. A mild soap may be used if available. If any symptoms persist, contact <br /> a poison control center, emergency room, or physician as further treatment may <br /> be necessary. <br /> INHALATION: Remove from area to fresh air. If symptomatic, contact a poison <br /> control center, emergency room or physician for treatment information. <br /> • <br />
