Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air.
Chemical Dangers:
Reacts with strong oxidants.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 200 ppm; 1050 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1993-1994).
OSHA PEL: none
NIOSH REL: TWA 200 ppm (1050 mg/m3)
NIOSH IDLH: N.D. See: IDLH INDEX
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.
Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis.
The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.
Exposure to the vapour could cause lowering of consciousness.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The liquid defats the skin.
