| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS TO YELLOW CRYSTALS , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride and chlorine fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. 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 including chloracne. The substance may have effects on the liver , resulting in impaired functions. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. |
