| IMPORTANT DATA |
Physical State; Appearance
ODOURLESS TASTELESS, WHITE OR YELLOWISH CRYSTALS OR POWDER.Chemical dangers
Reacts violently with aluminium powder. Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 10 mg/m³ as TWA; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: (Inhalable fraction) 4 mg/m³; (Respirable fraction) 1.5 mg/m³; (DFG 2004). |
Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol.Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure to dust particles, resulting in baritosis (a form of benign pneumoconiosis). |
