Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin: Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Toxic in contact with skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause liver and kidney damage.
