Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour,
through the skin
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the eyes
,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract
.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma (see Notes).

N O T E S
|
The applying occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
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 never again come into contact with this substance.
