PHYSICAL PROPERTIES |
| |||
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
|
|||
N O T E S | ||||
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert.
The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
Check for peroxides prior to distillation; render harmless if positive.
Card has been partly updated in October 2004 and April 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits, Emergency response.
