| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: YELLOW OILY LIQUID CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants and strong bases. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: (skin) A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans);(ACGIH 2000). MAK: skin absorption (H); Carcinogen category: 2 (DFG 2006). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation 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 skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the liver, resulting in jaundice. The effects may be delayed. See Notes. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the liver , resulting in liver function impairment and cirrhosis. This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans. | ||
