Acute occupational exposures have resulted in mild respiratory irritation as well as skin burns.  

Rats survived a 7-hour exposure to an atmosphere saturated with the vapor. The oral LDso for rats is 2700mg/kg. In guinea pigs the oral and skin absorption LDso ranged between 600 and 2400mg/kg.  

On the skin of rabbits 5 00 mg for 24 hours caused severe skin irritation, and 50pg in the eyes of rabbits for 24 hours also produced severe irritation. In another report no corneal injury was caused by direct contact of the liquid with the eyes of guinea pigs.
