Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
GREEN TO YELLOW CRYSTALLINE POWDER.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing toxic and corrosive fumes including copper and nitrogen oxides.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
|
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.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
Inhalation of its aerosol may cause asthmatic reactions (see Notes).
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma.

|
Solubility in water: none
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.46
|
|
Environmental
Data
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
|
|
N O T E S
|
|
The symptoms of asthma 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.
Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact with this substance.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Bioquin, Cunilate, Dokirin, Fruitdo and Quinondo are trade names.
