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, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
Inhalation	Dizziness. Sweating. Laboured breathing. Unconciousness. Weakness. Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. See Ingestion.	Use ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Further see Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention . See Notes.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal cramps. Convulsions. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting. Muscle twitching. Further see Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	Unbreakable packaging. Put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant.

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and irritating fumes including nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides. Attacks mild steel and copper-containing alloys (technical grade).

Occupational exposure limits
TLV (NOT-ESTABLISHED):.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory failure. Cholinesterase inhibition. Exposure could cause death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the nervous system. This may result in delayed neuropathy. Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point: 44°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.3 Solubility in water: good Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.002 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: -0.66	This substance may be hazardous to the environment. Special attention should be given to birds, bees and fish.

NOTES

Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
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.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Bay 71628, Monitor, Pillaron, SRA 5172 and Tamaron are trade names.
If the substance is present under the form of a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting may not be induced.
Card has been partially updated in January 2008: see Ingestion First Aid.
