    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     WHITE TO SLIGHT YELLOWISH CRYSTALS.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20░C.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance may cause effects on the blood , resulting in formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
