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. UN 2585 applies to p-toluenesulfonic acid with no more than 5% free sulfuric acid. UN 2583 applies to p-toluenesulfonic acid with more than 5% free sulfuric acid. Hydrated form has CAS number 6192-52-5. |
