Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides.
The substance may polymerize readily.
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing
toxic gases
.
Reacts
violently with
strong oxidants
,
acids
and
bases
.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 1 ppm as TWA; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh);
Carcinogen category: 2;
(DFG 2004).
OSHA PEL: C 10 ppm (45 mg/m3)
NIOSH REL: TWA 5 ppm (22 mg/m3) ST 10 ppm (44 mg/m3) skin
NIOSH IDLH: 50 ppm See: 106923
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation and through the skin,
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
Corrosive.
The substance
is corrosive to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
Acute exposure may cause central nervous system depression.
Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.
Medical observation is indicated.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
May cause genetic damage in humans.
Does cause serious reproductive toxicity in humans.

Environmental
Data

|
|
N O T E S
|
Auto-ignition temperature is unknown in literature.
Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point < 61°C.
Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
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.
The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
