| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. | NO open flames. NO contact with strong oxidants. | Foam, water spray, powder. |
| EXPLOSION | Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. | Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. | |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID EXPOSURE OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | (See Ingestion). | Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |

| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance ODOURLESS, TASTELESS, COLOURLESS TO WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER Physical dangers Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin, and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Decomposes below boiling point Melting point: 161°C Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 106°C: 133 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 10.6 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.52 |
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to mammals. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use. |
| NOTES | Warfarin is usually available commercially as the water soluble sodium salt. The physical properties above refer to the parent substance. The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. The symptoms of bleeding do not become manifest until several days later. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Do NOT take working clothes home.
