Male was exposed for 10 minutes to fumes. Went to company nurse. She checked his blood oxygen level -was OK. He took Tylenol for headache. He went back to work. No time loss. He had tight chest breathing but took some inhalers that night. All better next day. The exposure occurred because an outside line was frozen and the solution in the line, containing the product, backed up and leaked onto the floor. The person became nauseated when he walked into the spill area.
