EXPOSURE
AVOID ALL CONTACT!
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
INHALATION Cough. Sore throat. See Notes.
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
Fresh air, rest. See Notes.
SKIN See Notes.
Protective gloves.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
INGESTION See Notes.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
Rest. Refer for medical attention.
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: P3 filter respirator for toxic particles).
Separated from food and feedstuffs. Cool. Dry. Keep in the dark. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Keep under inert gas.
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE TO YELLOW CRYSTALS.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts with mineral acids forming benzidine (see ICSC # 0224).

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.


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:
The substance irritates the respiratory tract.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
