TYPES OF
HAZARD /
EXPOSURE
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS      PREVENTION         FIRE FIGHTING   
FIRE Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames. Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION      
 
EXPOSURE      
Inhalation   Avoid inhalation of dust. Fresh air, rest.
Skin   Protective gloves. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes   Safety spectacles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion Dizziness. Drowsiness. Tremors. Uncoordinated movements. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!).

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR BEIGE POWDER.

Chemical dangers
On combustion, forms toxic gases. The substance decomposes on heating.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK not established.

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

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance may cause effects on the nervous system.
