adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Adverse Physical, Chemical, Significant Human Health and Environmental Effects (See also box 11): Product is extremely flammable, do not use near sources of ignition (eg. naked flames). Direct contact with the aerosol spray may cause cold burns to the eyes and skin. Inhalation of the spray may cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Inhalation of high vapour concentrations may result in drowsiness, nausea, dizziness and ultimately loss of consciousness. Ingestion may cause irritation of the throat, nausea and vomiting. Ingestion of large quantities may lead to neurological symptoms such as ataxia and tremors, nausea, vomiting and loss of consciousness. Inhalation of the vapour whilst swallowing or vomiting may cause lung damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating or inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.
