The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in plants. 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. Do NOT take working clothes home. 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 EU-OEL of 0.004 mg/m3 is allowed until 11 July 2027. |
