EXPLOSION


EXPOSURE


  • INHALATION

    		• Local exhaust.
    		Fresh air, rest.
  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
  • EYES

    		• Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION

    		• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Rinse mouth. Rest.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
    		Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs. Well closed.
    		Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.


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

    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 LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     The substance may have effects on the blood and liver , resulting in anaemia, impaired functions and tissue lesions.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Melting point: 45-47°C
    Relative density (water = 1): 1.2
    Solubility in water: none (<0.1g/100ml)
    		Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.0003
    Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 5.37
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
    N O T E S
    If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Sumilarv is a trade name.
