EXPOSURE
AVOID ALL CONTACT!
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
  • INHALATION
    		• Cough. Sore throat. See Notes.
    		Local exhaust or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest. See Notes.
  • SKIN
    		• See Notes.
    		Protective gloves.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• See Notes.
    		Safety spectacles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• See Notes.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Rest. Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: P3 filter respirator for toxic particles).
    		Separated from food and feedstuffs. Cool. Dry. Keep in the dark. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Keep under inert gas.
    		Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     WHITE TO YELLOW CRYSTALS.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts with mineral acids forming benzidine (see ICSC # 0224).

    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 respiratory tract.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
