PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS.
PHYSICAL DANGERS:
CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes
on heating
producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride (see ICSC # 0163) and nitrogen oxides.
Attacks many metals in presence of water.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.
|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation and
by ingestion.
INHALATION RISK:
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance may cause effects on the nervous system and blood
, resulting in impaired functions and
formation of methaemoglobin.
The substance may cause effects on the bladder and kidneys, resulting in bladder irritation and blood in the urine.
The effects may be delayed.
Medical observation is indicated.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.

N O T E S
|
If the pesticide is present under the form of a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting may not be induced.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Bermat, ENT-27567, EP-333, Fundal SP, Fundex, Galecron SP, NSC 195102, Schering 36268 and Spanone are trade names.
If the pesticide is formulated with an organic solvent, also consult the ICSC of the solvent used.
