| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: WHITE POWDER PHYSICAL DANGERS: Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating and on burning producing toxic and irritating fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. The substance decomposes on contact with acids. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, is irritating to the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans. | ||
