  ACUTE HAZARDS PREVENTION FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable.  Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.  NO open flames.    Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.  In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. 

 STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! FIRST AID: USE PERSONAL PROTECTION. 
  SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID
Inhalation Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. Muscle twitching. Convulsions. Dizziness. Sweating. Wheezing. Laboured breathing. Unconsciousness.  Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.  Fresh air, rest. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes. 
Skin MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Further see Inhalation.  Protective gloves. Protective clothing.  Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes. 
Eyes Redness. Pain. Pupillary constriction. Blurred vision.  Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.  Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention. 
Ingestion Excessive salivation. Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal cramps. Diarrhoea. Further see Inhalation.  Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.  Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. 

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the skin. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system by a cholinesterase inhibiting effect. Exposure above the OEL could cause death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. 

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C , on spraying or dispersing much faster. 

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. 


OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.1 mg/m3, as TWA; (skin); (SEN); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); BEI issued.
MAK: 1 mg/m3, 0.11 ppm; peak limitation category: II(2); skin absorption (H); pregnancy risk group: C 

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal. 

NOTES
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
Following the disappearance of symptoms from a short-term exposure, delayed effects could become manifest (after several days or weeks).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
