TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	NO water. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol-resistant foam.
EXPLOSION	Above 69°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	Above 69°C use a closed system, ventilation.

EXPOSURE		STRICT HYGIENE!	IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
Inhalation	Sore throat. Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes).	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain. Skin burns.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns.	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	Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking liquid in sealable dry plastic containers. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.	UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Subsidiary Risks: 8 UN Pack Group: II	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61GTC1-II	Dry. Well closed. Separated from acids, alcohols, amines, bases, oxidants, food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating or on contact with water or moisture producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride and phenol. Reacts violently with acids, alcohols, amines, bases, oxidants and metals.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK not established. Refer to TLV and MAK value of Phenol and Hydrogen chloride.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). The effects may be delayed.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 188-189°C Melting point: -28°C Density: 1.2 g/cm³ Solubility in water: reaction Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 90 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 5.41 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.002 Flash point: 69°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 540°C	The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.

NOTES

Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water.
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
