| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: WHITE OR SLIGHTLY GREY POWDER CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts violently with strong reducing agents. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: (as Sn, oxide and inorganic compounds, except tin hydride) 2 mg/m³ as TWA; (ACGIH 2004). EU OEL: (Tin inorganic compounds, as Sn) 2 mg/m³ as TWA; (EU 2004). |
INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: May cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure to dust particles, resulting in a benign pneumoconiosis (stannosis). | ||
