EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

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

Effects of short-term exposure
See Notes.

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.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: (inhalable fraction and vapour): 10 mg/m³, as TWA; 20 mg/m³ as STEL; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen)

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is 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
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
