LD50 LC50 Mixture:SEE TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CARCINOGENIC: ACRYLAMIDE IS A PROBABLE
    HUMAN CARCINOGEN AND A HUMAN NEUROTOXIN. ANOTHER MINOR COMPONENT
    HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN LABORATORY ANIMALS AND IS ALSO
    NEUROTOXIC. MAY BE IRRITATING T O EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE MAY PRODUCE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY EFFECTS
    IN SENSITIZED INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING ASTHMA, COUGHING, WHEEZING,
    SHORTNESS OF BREATH. FORMALDEHYDE  IS ALSO CONSIDERED A PROBABLE
    HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACRYLAMIDE: IARC MONO, SUPP, VOL 7, PG
    56, 1998: GROUP 2B. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCINS, 1998: REASONABLY
    ANTIC TO BE HUMAN CARCIN. ANIMAL: CNS TOXIN, NEOPLASMS.
    FORMALDEHYDE: IARC MONO, SUPP, VOL 62 , PG 217, 1998: GROUP 2A. NTP
    8TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCINS, 1998: REASONABLY ANTIC TO BE HUMAN
    CARCIN. OSHA REGULATED: 29 CFR 1910.1048. ANIMAL: NASAL TUMORS.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HLTH HAZS. STATE REGS: RPTD/LONG TERM EXPOS
    MAY PRDCE ALLERGIC SKIN DERM AS WELL AS RESP SENSIT. WORKPLACE
    EXPOS TO FORMALDEHYDE MAY CAUSE DISTURBED SLEEP, UNUSUAL THIRST;
    LOSS OF SMELL, INCRD UPP ER RESP DISEASE, CHRONIC AIRWAY
    OBSTRUCTION, BRTHG PROBLEMS, MENSTRUAL DISORDERS, PREGNANCY
    COMPLICATIONS, LOW BIRTH WT IN ADDN TO IRRITANT EFTS AT LEVELS UP
    TO 4 PPM. TETRAETHYLENE DIACRYLATE HAS COR R TO SKIN WHEN
    ADMINISTERED DAILY FOR A PERIOD OF 2 WKS. THERE WERE NO OTHER TOX
    EFTS NOTED IN STUDY. IT WAS MUTAGENIC IN MOUSE LYMPHOMA ASSAY &
    RSLTS INDICATED THAT IT MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR CHROMOSO ME DMG.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. IF IRRIT OCCURS &
    PERSISTS, CONT MD. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG & SHOES & THORO WASH
    W/SOAP & WATER. IF IRRIT OCCURS & PERSISTS, CONT MD. INHAL: REMOVE
    TO FRES H AIR. IF BRTHG DFCLTY/DISCOMFORT OCCURS& PERSISTS, CONT
    MD. INGEST: DRINK 1-2 GLASSES OF WATER & INDUCE VOMIT BY TOUCHING
    BACK OF THROAT W/FINGER OR BY GIVING SYRUP OF IPECAC. NEVER INDUCE
    VOMIT/GIVE	ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCON PERS. SEE MD. NOTES TO
    MD: LONG RANGER GEL SOLN IS ANTIC TO BE MOD IRRITATING TO EYES &
