N-PHENYL-1-NAPHTHYLAMINE

ICSC: 1113

IMPORTANT DATA

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE TO SLIGHT YELLOWISH CRYSTALS.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established.
MAK: sensitization of skin (Sh); (DFG 2008).

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
