| Supplemental Info:
Potential Acute Health Effects
(Provided by Arkema. See link below)
We are assuming exposure to smoke from a fire containing organic peroxides and/or degradation products of hydrocarbons and alcohols.
Exposure to organic peroxides may cause eye, skin and/or respiratory irritation. The smoke may also contain organic peroxide degradation products, including hydrocarbons and alcohols. These degradation products may also cause eye, skin and/or respiratory irritation or skin sensitization. In addition, they may cause nausea, drowsiness or dizziness. Based upon our understanding of the current situation, we believe that these are the key health effects. In case of significant or long term exposure, these effects may be intensified. For this reason, we continue to advise everyone to avoid the smoke and to seek medical attention if they believe they are exposed.
We are continuing to monitor and evaluate the situation and will update our information as appropriate.
