| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Pain.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
|
Safety goggles, face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Dizziness. Headache. Vomiting. Fatigue. Sweating.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
|
Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal protection: A/P2 filter respirator for organic vapour and harmful dust).

| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR GREY FLAKES , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explode on heating to decomposition. The substance decomposes on heating and on contact with strong oxidants producing toxic and irritating fumes (chlorine, hydrochloric acid). The substance is a weak acid. Reacts in an alkaline medium at high temperatures producing highly toxic chlorinated dioxins. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans (see Notes). |

|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
|
| NOTES | |
|
Technical products may contain highly toxic impurities such as polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans. The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Caswell No. 879, Collunosol, Dowicide 2, NCI-C61187, Nurelle, Preventol I are trade names. Also consult ICSC # 0588 - 2,3,4-trichlorophenol, 0589 - 2,3,5-trichlorophenol, ICSC # 0590 - 2,3,6-trichlorophenol and ICSC # 1122 - 2,4,6-trichlorophenol.
