| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Highly flammable. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with hot surfaces.
|
Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.
|
Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Do NOT expose to friction or shock.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
|
| Inhalation |
Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Vomiting. Weakness. Irritability. Hallucination.
|
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
MAY BE ABSORBED! Dry skin. Redness. (Further see Inhalation).
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Safety goggles, face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
(Further see Inhalation).
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Give nothing to drink. Refer for medical attention.
|

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explosively decompose on shock, friction, or concussion. May explode on heating. The substance may ignite spontaneously on contact with hot surfaces with air producing toxic fumes of sulphur dioxide (see ICSC 0074). Reacts violently with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks some forms of plastic, rubber and coating. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 10 ppm; (skin); Intended change. BEI issued; (ACGIH 2004). MAK: 5 ppm, 16 mg/m³; skin absorption (H); Peak limitation category: II(2); Pregnancy risk group: B; (DFG 2007). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness. Exposure between 200 and 500 ppm could cause death. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the cardiovascular system and nervous system , resulting in coronary heart disease and severe neurobehavioural effects, polyneuritis, psychoses. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction. | ||
