SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Threshold Limit Value:
NOT ESTABLISHED FOR MIXTURE. SEE SECTION II.
Effects of Overexposure:
-Acute(Short Term Exposure)
EYE: CAUSES IRRITATION SUCH AS REDNESS AND TEARING. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION AND MAY
LEAD TO SENSITIZATION IN INDIVIDUALS SENSITIVE TO PRODUCTS CONTAINING ORANGE OIL.
FREQUENT OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT CAN LEAD TO REDNESS AND DERMATITIS. INHALATION:
INHALATION MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. INHALATION OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOUR DUE TO ELEVATED TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE ANESTHESIA,

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

-Inhalation:
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES REMOVE FROM THE AREA TO FRESH AIR. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF RESPIRATORY IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR IF BREATHING BECOMES DIFFICULT.
-Eye Contact:
IMMEDIATELY RINSE THE EYES WITH WATER. REMOVE ANY CONTACT LENSES AND CONTINUE
FLUSHING FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. HOLD THE EYELIDS APART TO ENSURE RINSING OF THE

LABORATORY ANIMAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT PROLONGED AND REPEATED BREATHING
INHALATION EXPOSURE TO LIGHT HYDROCARBON VAPORS IN THE SAME NAPHTHA BOILING
RANGE AS THIS PRODUCT CAN PRODUCE ADVERSE KIDNEY EFFECTS IN MALE RATS.
HOWEVER, THESE EFFECTS WERE NOT OBSERVED IN SIMILAR STUDIES WITH FEMALE
RATS AND MALE AND FEMALE MICE IN LIMITED STUDIES WITH OTHER ANIMAL SPECIES.
ADDITIONALLY, IN A NUMBER OF HUMAN STUDIES, THERE WAS NO CLINICAL EVIDENCE
OF SUCH EFFECTS. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT KIDNEY EFFECTS OBSERVED IN MALE
RATS HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMANS EXPOSED AT OR BELOW VAPOR
LIMITS IN THE WORKPLACE. 1.
