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

PHYSICAL DANGERS:

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic fumes includingnitrogen oxides.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: 10 mg/mł as TWA; (ACGIH 1999).
OSHA PEL: TWA 15 mg/m³ (total) TWA 5 mg/m³ (resp)
NIOSH REL: See Appendix D
NIOSH IDLH: No data

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

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance irritates the skin.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes malformations in human babies.

PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES

Decomposes below melting point
Solubility in water:
none

ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to soil organisms.Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
