| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID OR WHITE CRYSTALS, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride. Reacts violently with oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 5 ppm; (Ceiling value); (ACGIH 2003). EU OEL: as TWA 2 ppm, 15.1 mg/m³; as STEL 5 ppm, 37.8 mg/m³; (skin); (EU 2003). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. The substance may have effects on the liver. | ||

Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.002 Flash point: 105°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 571°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.5-6.6 (at 150°C) Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.98 | ||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. Also consult ICSC0344 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene, and ICSC1222 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene.
