Types of Hazard/ Exposure	Acute Hazards/ Symptoms	Prevention	First Aid/ Fire Fighting
FIRE	Highly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.	Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water in large amounts, carbon dioxide.
Explosion	Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.	Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Exposure		STRICT HYGIENE!	IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
•Inhalation	Cough. Headache. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes).	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention.
•Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
•Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety spectacles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
•Ingestion	Abdominal cramps. Burning sensation. (Further see Inhalation).	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

Spillage Disposal

Storage

Packaging & Labelling

Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: gas-tight chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus).

Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids, food and feedstuffs.

Unbreakable packaging; put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

Important Data

Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS TO YELLOW LIQUID , WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.

Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.

Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes of nitrous oxides. The substance is a medium strong base, reacts violently with acids and is corrosive towards aluminium, tin and zinc. Reacts violently with oxidants and chlorine causing fire and explosion hazard.

Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.

Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
Tear drawing. The substance irritates the eyes and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Medical observation is indicated.

Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The substance may have effects on the heart muscle ,resulting in tissue lesions.

Physical
Properties

Boiling point: 55-58°C
Melting point: -88°C
Relative density (water = 1): 0.76
Solubility in water: miscible
Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 25.7

Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.0
Flash point: -29°C c.c.
Auto-ignition temperature: 371°C
Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.2-22

Environmental
Data

The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.

N O T E S

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 spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
