EXPLOSION      
 
EXPOSURE   AVOID ALL CONTACT!  
Inhalation      
Skin   Protective clothing. Protective gloves. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes   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 take to a doctor.
Ingestion See EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
VISCOUS COLOURLESS LIQUID.

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating at 200 °C producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen bromide and phosphorous oxides. Reacts with acids and bases.

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
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.
