Croton Oil Page Number: Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Inhalation Serious Inhalation Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Section 5.

Croton Oil Page Number: 3 Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. Splash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves. Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Good room ventilation or use of local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Exposure Limits Section 9.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. LD50: LC50: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of inhalation. May cause cancer based on animal test data. Equivocal tumorigenic agent by RTECS criteria. May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation with redness, burning sensation, inflammation, swelling, and pustule formation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin and cause systemic effects such as purging. Eyes: Causes eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. It is a poweful cathartic (purgative). Symptoms may include burning of the mouth, and stomach, nausea, drastic purging with violent bowl movments of watery stools (watery diarrhea), intestinal inflammation, vomiting, abdominal pain. Snall doses have a strong laxative effect. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause hypermotility and diarrhea and may affect the liver, blood (changes in white blood cell count) Section 1.
