EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

  • INHALATION

    		• Local exhaust or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest, artificial respiration if indicated, and refer for medical attention.
  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Remove contaminated clothes, rinse and then wash skin with water and soap, and refer for medical attention if irritation persists.
  • EYES

    		• Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• See Inhalation.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
    		Rinse mouth and refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Sweep spilled substance into containers, carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     COLOURLESS, CRYSTALLINE POWDER , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV: 3 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1992-1993)
    OSHA PEL: TWA 3 mg/m3
    NIOSH REL: TWA 3 mg/m3
    NIOSH IDLH: 1000 mg/m3


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     The substance may have effects on blood enzymes. Exposures to animals have produced muscle weakness and paralysis; these effects have not been reported in humans.
