| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Laboured breathing.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Skin burns.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
|
Safety goggles, 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 |
Burning sensation. (Further see Inhalation).
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|

| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating and on burning producing highly irritating fumes including maleic anhydride. The solution in water is a medium strong acid. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates severely 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 kidneys. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Decomposes below boiling point at 135°C
Melting point: 131°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.59 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 25°C: 78 |
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: -0.5
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
