Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its aerosol
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
.
The substance may cause effects on the
nervous system
.
Exposure could cause hypokalaemia
, resulting in
cardiac disorders
and muscular disorders.
Exposure may result in death.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
