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.	Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! STRICT HYGIENE!	IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
Inhalation	Burning sensation. Cough. Sore throat.	Local exhaust.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Burning sensation. Pain. Blisters.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns.	Face shield.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Collect leaking liquid in covered dry, plastic containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. (Extra personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.)	UN Hazard Class: 8 UN Pack Group: III	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	STORAGE
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-80GC3-III	Separated from metals.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS OR AMBER LIQUID. Chemical dangers The substance decomposes on heating at 240°C producing toxic fumes of phosphorous oxides. Attacks many metals forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Occupational exposure limits TLV not established. MAK not established.	Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and through the skin. Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is corrosive to the eyes and the skin.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
