EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
 

Effects of short-term exposure
If swallowed the substance easily enters the airways and could result in aspiration pneumonitis. 

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. 

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. 


OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
 

ENVIRONMENT
Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in aquatic organisms.
