	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.		Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Sweet taste in the mouth. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache.	Avoid inhalation of fine dust and mist.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED!	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Eyes		Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria DANGER Harmful if swallowed Toxic in contact with skin May cause drowsiness or dizziness May cause damage to urinary tract through prolonged or repeated exposure Toxic to aquatic life Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in impaired functions.	Inhalation risk A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the bladder and kidneys. This may result in urinary tract inflammation.
