TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. | NO contact with flammables. | In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion on contact with combustible substances. | ||
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Headache. Wheezing. Shortness of breath. Visual disturbances. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Skin discoloration. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Loss of vision. Severe deep burns. | Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal cramps. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. See Inhalation. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give nothing to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention . |

Boiling point: 130°C See Notes. Melting point: 42°C Relative density (water = 1): 4.9 Solubility in water, g/100ml at 25°C: 6 Vapour pressure, kPa at 27°C: 1.5 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 8.8 |
This substance may be hazardous to the environment. Special attention should be given to crustacea. |
| NOTES |
|
Begins to sublime and distil well below boiling point. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT take working clothes home. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. Card has been partially updated in August 2007: see Occupational Exposure Limits. |
