Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
or
on contact with
water
or
moisture
producing
toxic and corrosive fumes
including
hydrogen chloride
and
phenol.
Reacts
violently with
acids
,
alcohols
,
amines
,
bases
,
oxidants
and
metals
.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
MAK not established.
Refer to TLV and MAK value of Phenol and Hydrogen chloride.
|
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 will be reached quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is corrosive to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
Corrosive on ingestion.
Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The effects may be delayed.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:

|
Environmental
Data
|
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
|
|
N O T E S
|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water.
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 inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
