	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Convulsions. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Weakness.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Further see Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

ICSC: 0214

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS OR WHITE POWDER OR CRYSTALS WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Physical dangers Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. Chemical dangers Decomposes on burning. This produces nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. The solution in water is a strong base. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive.	Formula: C₅H₆N₂ / NH₂C₅H₄N Molecular mass: 94.1 Boiling point: 211°C Melting point: 58°C Solubility in water: very good Vapour pressure, kPa at 25°C: 0.8 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.2 Flash point: 68°C c.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.49

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory depression. Exposure could cause an increase in blood pressure. Exposure far above the OEL could cause death.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
