Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
VOLATILE COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air
and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
Chemical Dangers:
Reacts
with
strong oxidants
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Attacks some plastics, rubber and coatings.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
OSHA PEL: TWA 500 ppm (1800 mg/m3)
NIOSH REL: TWA 50 ppm (180 mg/m3)
NIOSH IDLH: 1100 ppm 10%LEL See: 110543
TLV: 50 ppm, 176 mg/m3 as TWA; (skin); BEI issued; (ACGIH 2004).
EU OEL: 72 mg/m3 20 ppm as TWA (EU 2006).
MAK:
Pregnancy risk group: C;
(DFG 2004).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour
and
by ingestion.
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
irritates
the skin.
Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis.
Exposure at high levels could cause lowering of consciousness.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
The substance may have effects on the
central nervous system
and especially
peripheral nervous system
, resulting in polyneuropathy.
Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction.
