Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
WHITE
CRYSTALS.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance will polymerize violently
due to heating above 85°C or
under the influence of light and oxidants.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
OSHA PEL: TWA 0.3 mg/m3 skin
NIOSH REL: Ca TWA 0.03 mg/m3 skin See Appendix A
NIOSH IDLH: Ca 60 mg/m3 See: 79061
TLV: 0.03 mg/m3 as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh);
Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: 2;
(DFG 2006).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation,
through the skin
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
The substance may cause effects on the
central nervous system.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The substance may have effects on the
nervous system
, resulting in peripheral nerve damage.
This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.
May cause heritable genetic damage in humans.
