OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS |
---|
TLV: (ceiling value): 0.1 ppm as STEL; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen). MAK: carcinogen category: 3. EU-OEL: 0.05 mg/m3, 0.02 ppm as TWA; 0.12 mg/m3, 0.05 ppm as STEL |
ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. |
NOTES |
---|
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 inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. Check for peroxides prior to distillation; render harmless if positive. |
