TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible under specific conditions. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		AVOID ALL CONTACT!
Inhalation		Use ventilation (not if powder).	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Dry skin.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: protective gloves and chemical protection suit. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. EC Classification Symbol: Xn, N; R: 20-36-40-43-50; S: (2)-36/37-46-61 UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 9; UN Pack Group: III GHS Classification Signal: Danger Causes damage to the gastrointestinal tract through prolonged or repeated exposure if swallowed Causes eye irritation May cause an allergic skin reaction Very toxic to aquatic life

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
WHITE CRYSTALS.

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163).

Occupational exposure limits
TLV (NOT-ESTABLISHED):.
MAK (not established):.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

Inhalation risk
A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point: 177°C Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: <0.0013 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.85	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

If the pesticide is present under the form of a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting may not be induced.
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
