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 |
---|
Temperature of decomposition is unknown in the literature. Anyone who has shown symptoms of sensitization due to this substance should avoid all further contact with nickel, nickel compounds and other metal compounds of e.g. copper, chromium and cobalt. 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. Isolate contaminated clothing by sealing in a bag or other container. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
