Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
WHITE HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALLINE POWDER
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
TURNS YELLOW ON Exposure TO LIGHT AND AIR.
Physical Dangers:
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating and
on burning
producing toxic gases (nitrogen oxides).
The solution in water is a medium strong base and reacts with strong acids.
Reacts violently with strong oxidants
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its aerosol,
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.
Inhalation of the aerosol 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 are therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
