Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
RED
BROWN
POWDER
OR CRYSTALS.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
or
on burning
producing toxic fumes (chlorine).
Reacts with strong oxidants.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: (as Pt) 0.002 mg/m3 as TWA; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: IIb (not established but data is available); sensitization of respiratory tract and skin (Sah); (DFG 2004).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of dust
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.

The substance
is irritating to
the eyes
,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract
.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
|
|
Physical
