Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
WHITE
CRYSTALLINE POWDER.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
or
on burning
producing toxic fumes including methylisocyanate, nitrogen oxides.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 0.5 mg/m3 as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); BEI issued; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: (Inhalable fraction) 2 mg/m3
Peak limitation category: II(8);
(DFG 2004).
OSHA PEL: none
NIOSH REL: TWA 0.5 mg/m3

|
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 on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance may cause effects on the nervous system, liver, kidneys
, resulting in
respiratory failure
,
convulsions
and
tissue lesions
.
Cholinesterase inhibitor.
Exposure may result in death.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
