11. Toxicological Information
- Inhalation:	Low vapour concentrations cause irritation of the respiratory tract, causing. coughing and slight difficulty with breathing.Higher concentrations produce more severe irritation, and may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, weakness, euphoria, drowsiness, double vision, ataxia, and coma.
- Skin:	May produce mild reddening of the skin.Prolonged contact may produce a drying and fissuring due to a defatting action.
- Eyes:	Vapour is mildly irritating.Liguid produces chemical conjunctivitis with mild transient corneal injury.

- Ingestion:	Slightly toxic. Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal discomfort, nausea and drowsiness..
12. Ecological Information
BODY FLEX AGENT 803 is almost insoluble in water and will float on the surface. It could cause a fire or explosion if a large spill drained into a sewer system and would be highly toxic to fish if discharged to natural waters. Avoid discharge to sewers or waterways! It is biodegradable in very low concentrations in water in biological wastewater treatment plants.
