ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Highly flammable. Risk of fire and explosion on heating above 60°C. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Liquid and vapour flash in direct sunlight. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with oxidizing agents. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. | Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |||
---|---|---|---|
SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID | |
Inhalation | Headache. Dizziness. Chest pain. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting. Shortness of breath. Muscle pain. Weakness. Convulsions. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use closed system or ventilation. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
Skin | 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 | Wear 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 | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention . |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING |
---|---|
Remove all ignition sources. Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. |

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS |
---|
TLV: (as Ni, ceiling value): 0.05 ppm as STEL; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans) |
ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
NOTES |
---|
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. 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 are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. |
