In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. EXPLOSION   EXPOSURE PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! INHALATION Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. SKIN Redness. Pain. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. EYES Redness. Pain. Safety spectacles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Diarrhoea. Unconsciousness. See Notes. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert!

International Chemical Safety Cards CYCLOHEXIMIDE ICSC: 0244 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS CRYSTALS. PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes, including nitrogen oxides. 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 eyes and the skin. Exposure may result in death. See Notes. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Melting point: 119.5-121°C Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 2°C: 2.1 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.55

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA	Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
N O T E S
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. Animal studies have indicated that the substance may be very toxic by ingestion. Hizarocin, Acti-dione, Acti-aid, Naramycin, Naramycin A and Neocycloheximide are trade names. Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61G41a
