Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation,
through the skin
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C
; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the skin
.
The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.

Exposure above the OEL may result in 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.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
Cholinesterase inhibitor; cumulative effect is possible: see acute hazards/symptoms.
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
