Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
YELLOW
CRYSTALS.
(SEE NOTES).
Physical Dangers:
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.
Chemical Dangers:
May explosively decompose on shock, friction, or concussion.
May explode on heating.
Shock-sensitive compounds are formed with alkalis, ammonia and most metals.
The substance decomposes
on heating
producing
toxic gases
including
nitrogen oxides
(see Notes).
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
|
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.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance may cause effects on metabolism
, resulting in very high body temperature.
Exposure may result in death.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
The substance may have effects on the peripheral nervous system.
The substance may have effects on the eyes
, resulting in cataracts.

Environmental
Data
|
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to aquatic organisms.
|
|
N O T E S
|
Use all available methods for reducing body temperature.
Because of its explosive properties, the compound is used in the form of a water paste.
UN 0076 applies to the dry compound. CAS 25550-58-7 applies to unspecified isomers of dinitrophenol.
