EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

INHALATION
Local exhaust.
Fresh air, rest.
SKIN

Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
EYES
Safety spectacles.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes at 210°C and on burning producing toxic and corrosive gases including nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants, strong acids and alkaliesoxidants. Reacts strong oxidants, strong acids and alkalies.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.


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

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:


EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
