NOTES |
---|
The symptoms of asthma 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. Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact. Anyone who has shown skin sensitization due to this substance should avoid all further contact. Workers exposed to this compound may also be sensitized to other isocyanates. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
