Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids as needed, seek medical help if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, contact poison control or medical professional
Most Important Symptoms: Slight irritation to skin or eyes, high-dose ingestion may cause headache, nausea, or dizziness
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide; do not use water stream
Special Hazards: Oil can catch fire at sustained high temperatures, burning produces irritating fumes or smoke
Protective Equipment: Fire-fighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Fire-Fighters: Remove product containers from fire area if it can be done safely, cool containers with water spray
Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possibly traces of acrolein or aldehydes
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves and eye protection, avoid skin or eye contact with spilled oil
Spill Response: Absorb using sand, diatomaceous earth, or commercial absorbent, contain spill to prevent environmental release
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into drains, sewers, or water bodies; contact local authorities in event of large spills
Cleanup Methods: Collect absorbed material in closed containers for disposal, clean surface with detergent and water
Reference to Other Sections: Use protective measures described in Section 8 (Handling and Personal Protection)
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated area, avoid contact with eyes or skin, keep away from food and beverages

Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Slight irritation possible, more likely in sensitive individuals
Eye Damage/Irritation: Can cause mild, temporary irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Not anticipated by conventional routes of use
Chronic Effects: Repeated overexposure may affect liver, bone, and skin health
Carcinogenicity: No classification as a carcinogen by IARC, OSHA, NTP
Reproductive Toxicity: Excess vitamin A during pregnancy linked to birth defects in humans at high doses
Ecotoxicity: Vitamin A oil is biodegradable but large releases may upset aquatic organisms due to oxygen demand or direct toxicity to aquatic life
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be rapidly biodegradable under aerobic conditions
Bioaccumulation: Not likely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility; binds to soil organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled releases to environment, especially near water sources
