| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS TO YELLOW CRYSTALS, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides. Reacts violently with oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK: 2 H (DFG 2000). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the red blood cells, resulting in lesions of blood cells and formation of methaemoglobin. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the spleen. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans (see Notes). | ||
