Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating,
on contact with
acids
and
water,
producing
toxic and corrosive fumes
including
hydrogen chloride.
Reacts
violently with
strong oxidants
,
amines
and
light
metals
causing fire and explosion hazard.
On contact with air it emits hydrogen chloride (see ICSC0163).

Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 0.1 ppm as STEL (Ceiling value), (skin), A2 (suspected human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2008).
MAK: skin absorption (H);
Carcinogen category: 2;
(DFG 2008).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation and through the skin
and
by ingestion.
m by inhalation of its vapour at update 2007 because of the kin notation in ACGIH
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:
The substance
is irritating to
the skin
and
the respiratory tract,
and
is severely irritating to
the eyes.
If swallowed the substance may cause vomiting, and could result in aspiration pneumonitis.

Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The substance may have effects on the
lungs
,
liver
,
kidneys
