[Inhalation]

Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
[Skin]

May cause skin irritation.
[Eyes]

Vapors cause eye irritation.
[Ingestion]

May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
[Hazards]

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
