animal liver carcinogen. Currently, MEKO is not listed as a potential
carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA. IARC has classified Carbon Black as possibly
carcinogenic for humans (2B). NOTICE: Reports have associated permanent brain
and nervous system damage with repeated, prolonged overexposure to solvents
among persons engaged in the painting trade. Intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
