NOTES |
---|
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Ethyleneimine vapours are uninhibited and may form polymers in vents or flame arrestors causing stoppage of vents. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
