| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: TRANSPARENT COLOURLESS CRYSTALS, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride. Reacts with strong bases producing chloroform. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys, resulting in lowering of consciousness, cardiac disorders and impaired functions. Exposure at high levels may result in unconsciousness. | ||
