Section 3 - Hazards Identification ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Eyes, skin, inhalation and ingestion. HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): EYES: SKIN: May cause eye irritation with blinking, tearing or pain. May cause skin irritation. INHALATION: The disagreeable odor from only a few ppm of 2,4 pentanedione in the atmosphere may cause nausea. Exposures to about 1000 ppm for 30 minutes or longer could result in the inhalation of harmful, and possibly fatal, amounts of material.
Page 2 of 6 INGESTION: May be harmful. Moderately toxic. May cause irritation and discomfort in the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach possibly resulting in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and faintness. SIGNS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Respiratory irritation, burn, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, loss of consciousness OTHER HEALTH WARNINGS: Repeated overexposure to this material >200 ppm may result in nasal mucosal inflammation. Higher concentrations (>300-400 ppm) may produce more serious adverse effects. Section 4 - First Aid Measures EYE CONTACT: SKIN CONTACT: INHALATION: Remove contact lenses immediately. Wash with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub eyes. Seek medical attention immediately. Wash throroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
