Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS
TO YELLOW
LIQUID
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
The substance may polymerize in the presence of air
due to warming,
under the influence of light and acid(s).
The substance decomposes
on burning
producing toxic and corrosive gases(nitrogen oxides).
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 0.05 ppm as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: skin absorption (H);
Carcinogen category: 2;
(DFG 2004).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation,
through the skin
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the respiratory tract
and
is corrosive to
the eyes.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The substance may have effects on the
liver
, resulting in liver impairment.
Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.
