IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR WHITE POWDER

Chemical dangers
On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive fumes including chlorine and hydrogen chloride.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by ingestion.

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 irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, resulting in convulsions, cardiac disorders and kidney impairment.
