COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air.
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing toxic and corrosive fumes (hydrochloric acid, chlorine).
Reacts with oxidants.
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:
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance strongly
irritates
the eyes,
the skin and
the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of the aerosol may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.

|
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.
Pine-O Disinfectant and Septi-Kleen are trade names.
