| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
ODOURLESS, VERY HYGROSCOPIC COLOURLESS CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating at high temperature and on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes. The solution in water is a weak base. Attacks zinc in presence of water forming highly flammable hydrogen gas. Dissolves violently in water with liberation of much heat. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
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 harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates 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 nasal mucous membrane , resulting in ulcerations. |
