PHYSICAL DANGERS:
CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes
on heating
producing toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV: ppm; 5 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1993-1993).
OSHA PEL: none
NIOSH REL: TWA 5 mg/m3
NIOSH IDLH: No data
|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation and
by ingestion.
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 SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance
irritates
the eyes.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys.
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
