Physical State; Appearance:
ODOURLESS,
FIBROUS SOLID.
FORMS CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS ON HEATING OVER 1000°C.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
Occupational Exposure Limits:
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation.
Inhalation Risk:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure.
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
