TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
Inhalation	Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. Sweating. Nausea. Dizziness. Laboured breathing. Weakness.	Use ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust or breathing protection. Avoid inhalation of dust and mist.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! See Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles, face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal cramps. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. Further see Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS-TO-OFF-WHITE CRYSTALS WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV (NOT-ESTABLISHED):.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory depression. Cholinesterase inhibition. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the nervous system. This may result in weakness. Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes at 100°C Melting point: 72°C Density: 1.03 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 0.003 Vapour pressure at 20°C: negligible Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.83	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment. Special attention should be given to bees. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
