6. TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
|
| |
-
Routes of Entry:
Skin contact, inhalation of concentrate mists or vapors and ingestion can be
expected to be the most common types of exposure to
FireFoamŪ 103 concentrate. Available information on FireFoamŪ 103
ingredients indicates that inhalation of concentrate vapors may be irritating to
the upper respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations of one ingredient
in the FireFoamŪ 103 concentrate have been shown to have adverse effects on the
central nervous system. These effects include nausea, headache and dizziness.
Acute ingestion of one ingredient of FireFoamŪ 103 concentrate has been shown to
have adverse effects on the central nervous system of laboratory
animals. Chronic ingestion of alkanol II has produced adverse effects on the
kidneys and livers of laboratory animals.
