| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
| PHYSICAL
STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS OILY LIQUID CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance may polymerize violently under the influence of traces of acid(s) or base(s) with fire or explosion hazard. The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic fumes including hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF
EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, 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: The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the cellular respiration, resulting in convulsions and respiratory failure. Exposure may result in death. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the nervous system and thyroid. | ||
