INHALATION: Toxic by inhalation. Vapours are highly irritating to eyes, nose and respiratory system and may produce nausea,
headache and dizziness. Prolonged exposure may result in chemical pneumonitis and, in extreme cases, pulmonary
oedema. Repeated overexposure may produce an allergic sensitisation resulting in skin rashes or possibly
asthmatic-type response with moderate to severe breathing difficulty in extreme cases.

INGESTION: Toxic if swallowed. Corrosive. Causes severe irritation or burns to the mouth and digestive tract. ... May cause
gastrointestinal distress with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

SKIN: Toxic in contact with skin. Systemic effects resulting from repeated or prolonged skin absorption may include kidney
and liver, as well as other organ damage. Corrosive. Contact with skin will produce severe irritation or burns with
possible in-depth injury. Repeated skin contact may produce allergic sensitisation. In such cases further contact may
cause allergic rashes.
