Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. MAK not established. Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation Risk: No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached 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. Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Corrosive on ingestion. Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Physical Properties Boiling point: 231°C Melting point: 46-50°C Density: 0.48 g/cm3 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.23 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 27 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.09 Environmental Data The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. 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. Substance may be transported in a molten form.
