IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS CRYSTALS Chemical dangers 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 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 is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.
