Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS
HYGROSCOPIC
CRYSTALS
, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance decomposes
on heating
producing toxic fumesincludingchlorineand antimony oxides.
Reacts withwaterto produce heat, hydrogen chloride (see ICSC0163) and antimony oxychloride.
Attacks many metals in the presence of water.
Aluminium burns in antimony trichloride vapour.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: (as Sb) 0.5 mg/m3 as TWA (ACGIH 2004).
MAK:
Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: 3A;
(DFG 2005).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is corrosive to
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
Corrosive on ingestion.
Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The effects may be delayed.
Medical observation is indicated.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The substance may have effects on the cardiovascular system.

N O T E S
|
C.I. 77056 is an alternative name.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
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 are therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
