EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE!

  • INHALATION
    		• Cough. Sore throat.
    		Ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust, or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest.
  • SKIN
    		• Redness. Pain.
    		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• Redness. Pain.
    		Face shield, 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
    		• Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.

    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
    		Separated from acids. Keep in the dark.

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     YELLOW CRYSTALS. TURNS DEEP GREEN ON EXPOSURE TO LIGHT.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating, on contact with acids, producing toxic and irritating fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV: ppm; 5 mg/m3 (as TWA) (skin) (ACGIH 1996).


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

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20░C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization as well as photosensitization.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Boiling point (decomposes): 371░C
    Melting point: 185.1░C
    		 Solubility in water: none
    Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.2
