HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
Based on animal data, overexposure to FM-200 by inhalation
may cause suffocation, if air is displaced by vapors, and
irregular heart beat with a strange sensation in the chest,
"heart thumping," apprehension, lightheadedness, feeling of
fainting, dizziness, weakness, sometimes progressing to loss
of consciousness and death.
FM-200 may cause frostbite if liquid or escaping vapor
contacts the skin.
FM-200 may cause "frostbite-like" effects if the liquid
or escaping vapors contact the eyes.
In one study, human volunteers were selected to inhale
FM-200 at a concentration of 6000 ppm but the study was
terminated due to a rise in pulse rate that was believed to
be unrelated to the chemical. In a subsequent study with
human volunteers inhaling concentrations up to 8000 ppm no
clinically significant effects were observed for any of the
measured laboratory parameters.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the cardiovascular
system or nervous system may have increased susceptibility
from excessive exposures.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.

FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
Treat for frostbite if necessary by gently warming affected area.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
