PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE TO PALE GREEN CRYSTALS.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic and irritating fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.


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

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 thyroid and liver , resulting in impaired functions. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes malformations in human babies.
