REPEATED & PROLONGED CONTACT OF THE LIQUID W/SKIN CAN CAUSE DRYNESS & ERYTHEMA (INFLAMMATION). EYES: ACETONE IS AN IRRITANT TO THE EYES & MUCOUS M EMBRANES. INHALATION: VAPOR CONC OF 2500-3000 PPM CAUSES MINOR IRRIT OF EYES, NOSE & THROAT. INH OF HIGHER CONC MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, CONFUSION, DROWSINESS, CONVULSIONS & COMA. INGESTION OF TOXI C DOSE CAN CAUSE GASTRO IRRIT, NARCOSIS AND INJURY TO KIDNEYS & LIVER. ACETONE IS NOT KNOWN TO PRODUCE CHRONIC OR CUMULATIVE SYSTEMIC EFFECTS. Explanation of Carcinogenicity:INGREDIENTS FOUND ON ONE OF THE OSHA DESIGNATED CARCINOGEN LISTS (NTP, IARC, OSHA): NO INGREDIENTS LISTED. Effects of Overexposure:N/P. ADVICE TO PHYSICIANS: A) TREATMENT OF SEVERE SYSTEMIC INTOXICATION (NARCOSIS) FROM EITHER VAPOR EXPOSURE OR INGESTION IS PRIMARILY SUPPORTIVE. ACETONE HAS MINIMALTOXICITY ON OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS AND IF THE VICTIM CAN BE SUPPORTED THROUGH THE PERIOD OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION AND RESPIRATORYFAILURE, THE PROGNOSIS IS GOOD. (1) FOLLOWING RECENT INGESTION, ACETONE SHOULD BE REMOVED BU E MESIS (IF NOT PERFORMED BY RESCUE PERSONNEL) AND/OR GASTRIC LAVAGE. (2) MECHANICALLY ASSISTED VENTILATION MAY BE NECESSARY. (3) IN SEVERE CASES, AN INITIAL PERIOD OF HYPOGLYCEMIA MAY REQUIRE CORRECTIO N BY INTRAVENOUS SOLUTIONS OF (MED COND) Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:N/P. SIGNS & SYMPS (CONT): OF DEXTROSE. (4) IN SOME CASES, TRANSIENT HYPERGLYCEMIA - RESEMBLING DIABETES - HAS OCCURRED DURING THE RECOVERY PHASE AND LASTED FOR A FEW DAYS. TREATMENT WITH (OTHER INFO) ======================= First Aid Measures ======================= First Aid:SKIN: IMMED WASH W/SOAP & WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAM CLTH. OBTAIN MED ATT IF ACETONE CAUSES SKIN CRACKING OR DERMATITIS. EYES: FLUSH W/ WATER FOR 15 MIN. GET PROMPT MED ATT. INHAL: REMOVE PATIENT FRO M CONTAM ATMOSPHERE TO FRESH AIR.
