IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance YELLOW CRYSTALS Chemical dangers Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed. Occupational exposure limits TLV not established. MAK: Carcinogen category: 2; (DFG 2004).	Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and through the skin. Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 536°C Melting point: 164°C Solubility in water: none Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 6.58	This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to air quality and water quality. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish.

NOTES

Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene is present as a component of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content in the environment usually resulting from the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic matters, especially fossil fuels and tobacco. ACGIH recommends environment containing Indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene should be evaluated in terms of the TLV-TWA for coal tar pitch volatile, as benzene soluble 0.2 mg/m³.
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
