PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHEN PURE: COLOURLESS LIQUID
. WHEN TECHNICAL GRADE: AMBER TO DARK BROWN LIQUID
, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.
PHYSICAL DANGERS:
The vapour is heavier than air
and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes
on heating above the boiling point and
on burning
producing toxic fumes (hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide).
Reacts with aluminium, magnesium, tin and their alloys in presence of water.
Attacks some forms of rubber and coatings.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established
PDK not established
OSHA PEL: 1910.1044 TWA 0.001 ppm
NIOSH REL: Ca See Appendix A
NIOSH IDLH: Potential occupational carcinogen No data
|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour,
through the skin
and by ingestion.
INHALATION RISK:
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance
irritates
the eyes,
the skin and
the respiratory tract.
The substance may cause effects on the lungs, liver, kidneys
, resulting in impaired functions, respiratory failure.
Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.
The effects may be delayed.
Medical observation is indicated.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The substance may have effects on the kidneys, testes
, resulting in impaired functions, tissue lesions.
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Does cause serious reproductive toxicity in humans.
