Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air
and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing
toxic fumes
including
nitrogen oxides
.
The substance is a medium strong base.
Reacts violently with oxidants.
Reacts violently with dicyanofurazan, N-nitrosoacetanilide and 1-perchloryl-piperidine,
causing explosion hazard.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour,
through the skin
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is corrosive to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
Corrosive on ingestion.
Inhalation of the vapour at high level may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The effects may be delayed.
Medical observation is indicated.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:

Environmental
Data

|
|
N O T E S
|
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 is therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
