ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL

Isopropyl alcohol vapor is denser than air and is flammable, with a flammability range of between 2 and 12.7% in air. It should be kept away
from heat and open flame. Distillation of isopropyl alcohol over magnesium has been reported to form peroxides, which may explode upon
concentration. Isopropyl alcohol is a skin irritant. Wearing protective gloves is recommended.

HYDROCHLORIC ACID
Wear a chemical-resistant apron, chemical-resistant gloves and chemical splash goggles at all times when handling HCl to protect your eyes
and skin. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is toxic if inhaled, so avoid breathing it in and always handle it while under a fume hood.

BROMOBENZENE
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. If absorbed, may cause liver injury.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may
cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause respiratory
tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration.
May cause liver abnormalities.

HEXANE
Short-term exposure to air contaminated with hexane affects the nervous system and can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and even
unconsciousness. Chronic exposure can cause more severe damage to the nervous system

BENZOPHENONE
Inhalation: Vapors are irritating to the respiratory tract, causing sneezing, coughing and possible shortness of breath. At
high concentrations, dizziness or other narcotic effects may be noted while excessive exposure can produce CNS disturbance, coma and
possible fatalities.
Ingestion: Ingestion causes gastrointestinal disturbances including nausea and vomiting. A potential aspiration hazard: ingestion of
significant amounts may cause respiratory depression. Vomiting may cause aspiration into the lungs which may result in chemical
pneumonitis.
Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation to eyes, may be severe with possible corneal damage.

DIETHYL ETHER
Breathing Diethyl Ether can cause drowsiness, excitement, dizziness, vomiting, irregular breathing, and increased saliva. High exposure can
cause unconsciousness and even death. * High exposure may affect the kidneys. * Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause drying,
scaling and cracking of the skin
