Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
OILY
COLOURLESS
HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
or
on burning
producing toxic and corrosive fumes including antimony and fluorine.
Reacts
violently with water forming toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride (see ICSC 0283).
Attacks glass, copper and lead.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: (as Sb) 0.5 mg/m3 as TWA; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: (as Sb)
Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: 3A;
(DFG 2005).
|
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.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is corrosive to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The substance may cause effects on the blood, heart muscle, kidneys and liver
, resulting in
cardiac disorders
and
impaired functions
.

|
N O T E S
|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water or hydrous agents.
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.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
Also consult ICSC 0283 (Hydrogen fluoride).
