Effects of Overexposure INHALATION: Vapors cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. High vapor concentrations
can produce headache, dizziness and drowsiness. EYES: Contact with the liquid or vapor
causes severe irritation. Prolonged and repeated exposure to the vapor may result in corneal

Precautions to be Taken Keep liquid and vapor away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not store in copper and
UNUSUAL FIRE AND in Handling & Storing its alloys. Wash thoroughly after handlng. Do not store in aluminum equipment at
EXPLOSION HAZARDS temperatures above 120掳F.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products. Read label on container before using. Do not wear contact lenses when working with chemicals.
Other Precautions
Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials.
Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
to prevent vapor pressure build up which could result in container rupture. Use with adequate ventilation. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
For laboratory use only. Not for drug, food or household use. Keep out of reach of children.
