Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
ODOURLESS
BLACK
CRYSTALLINE POWDER
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating and
on contact with moisture
producing toxic and flammable gases.
Reacts with strong oxidants.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 10 mg/m3 as TWA; A4; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: not established but data is available, (DFG 2004).
OSHA PEL: TWA 15 mg/m3
NIOSH REL: TWA 10 mg/m3
NIOSH IDLH: 800 mg/m3 See: 14484641
|
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.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
irritates
the eyes,
the skin and
the respiratory tract.
The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
The substance may have effects on the nervous system and thyroid in high doses.

none
|
|
|
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 substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature.
Exposure to Ferbam may cause alcohol intolerance.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Ferbam is often used in combinations with dithiocarbamates.
Ferbeck, Fermate, Ferradow, Hexaferb, Karbam Black, Knockmate and Trifungol are trade names.
Card has been partly updated in October 2004. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
