Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
WHITE OR TAN FLAKES
OR POWDER
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
producing
toxic and corrosive fumes
including
hydrogen chloride
and
dioxins
.
Reacts
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,
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 when dispersed, especially if powdered.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the eyes
,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract
.
Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system.
Exposure at high levels may result in unconsciousness or death.
The effects may be delayed.
Medical observation is indicated.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis (chloracne).
The substance may have effects on the central nervous system,kidneys and liver.
Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans (see Notes).

|
|
|
Environmental
Data
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment.
Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
|
|
N O T E S
|
Humans are generally exposed to technical grade of the substance which usually contain toxic microcontaminants such as polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans.
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.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Also consult ICSC 0069 (Pentachlorophenol).
