TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames. | Use foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 62°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 62°C use a closed system and ventilation. | |
| EXPOSURE | See Notes. | PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! | |
| Inhalation | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. | |
| Skin | Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. | |
| Eyes | Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder. | Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). | |
| Ingestion | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Refer for medical attention . | |

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. 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 |
|
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. No data are available on this isomer but a mixture of trichlorophenols may cause irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. These substances may cause acute metabolic effects resulting in damage in several organs notably CNS. Some technical products may contain highly toxic impurities including polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. |
