May be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts. Inhalation may cause nose and throat irritation and asthma-like reactions. Ingestion may cause burns of the upper gastrointestinal tract. May cause liver damage. Skin contact may cause skin burns or ulceration.
Evidence suggests that skin permeation can occur in amounts capable of producing systemic toxicity.
Eye contact may cause eye corrosion with corneal or conjunctival ulceration. Eye damage may be permanent and could include blindness. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the liver, kidneys, lungs or skin may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
