Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS
TO YELLOW
OILY
LIQUID
, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials.
Shock-sensitive compounds are formed with hydrocarbons, cotton, toluene, 1,3-nitrobenzene, 1-nitrotoluene, 4-nitrotoluene, 1-nitronaphthalene, ferrocene, pyridine, sodium ethoxide.
May explode on heating.
The substance decomposes
on heating
and
on burning
producing
toxic fumes
including
nitrogen oxides
.
Reacts
violently with
amines
,
powdered metals
and
metals
such as
aluminium
,
copper
,
iron
or
zinc
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Attacks rubber.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 0.005 ppm as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK:
Carcinogen category: 2;
skin absorption (H); (DFG 2005).
OSHA PEL: TWA 1 ppm (8 mg/m3)
NIOSH REL: TWA 1 ppm (8 mg/m3)
NIOSH IDLH: 4 ppm See: 509148
|
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 can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is severely irritating to
the eyes
,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract
.
Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The substance may cause effects on the
blood
, resulting in
the formation of methaemoglobin.
The substance may cause effects on the
kidneys
,
liver
and
lungs
.
Medical observation is indicated.
The effects may be delayed.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

N O T E S
|
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.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water.
Tetan and TNM are trade names.
