NOTES |
---|
CAS 15098-87-0 and 32287-65-3 are for hydrated forms. Temperature of decomposition is unknown in the literature. 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. |
