Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
LIGHT GREEN CRYSTALS
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
and
on contact with
acids
producing carbon dioxide (see ICSC 0021).
Reacts
violently with aniline, hydrogen sulfide, flammable solvents, hydrazine and metal powders, especially zinc, aluminium and magnesium,
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 0.2 mg/m3 as TWA; A1 (confirmed human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: sensitization of respiratory tract and skin (Sah);
Carcinogen category: 1;
(DFG 2004).
|
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 skin
.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma.
The substance may have effects on the lungs.
This substance is carcinogenic to humans.
|
|
Physical
Properties
|
Decomposes below melting point
Density: 2.6g/cm3
|
Solubility in water:
none
|
|
Environmental
Data
|
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
|
|
N O T E S
|
Temperature of decomposition unknown in literature.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact with this substance.
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.
Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
