|
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation,
through the skin 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.
