IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
ALMOST ODOURLESS, COLOURLESS CRYSTALS, PELLETS The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its
OR WHITE GRANULAR POWDER. aerosol and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers Inhalation risk
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing Evaporation at 20/C is negligible; a harmful concentration of
toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.
Occupational exposure limits Effects of short-term exposure
TLV not established. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system
MAK: skin absorption (H); Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell and liver.
mutagen group: 3A; (DFG 2004).
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the bone marrow, brain,
kidneys, eyes. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to
humans. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes
toxic effects upon human reproduction.
