	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 76°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames. NO contact with oxidizing agents. Above 76°C use a closed system and ventilation.	Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! STRICT HYGIENE! See Notes.
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Blue lips, fingernails and skin. Headache. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. Weakness. Laboured breathing. Convulsions.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Administration of oxygen may be needed. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes.
Skin	EASILY ABSORBED! Redness. Further see Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Administration of oxygen may be needed. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Corneal damage.	Wear 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 refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Administration of oxygen may be needed. Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS OILY LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. TURNS BROWN ON EXPOSURE TO AIR OR LIGHT. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes above 190°C . This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of nitrogen oxides and ammonia and flammable vapours. Reacts with strong acids and strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks copper and its alloys.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin also as a vapour and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is severely irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. See Notes. Exposure could cause haemolysis. This may result in haemolytic anaemia. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in haemolytic anaemia.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is severely irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. See Notes. Exposure could cause haemolysis. This may result in haemolytic anaemia. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in haemolytic anaemia.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); BEI issued. MAK: 7.7 mg/m³, 2 ppm; peak limitation category: II(2); skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (SH); carcinogen category: 4; pregnancy risk group: C; BAT issued. EU-OEL: 7,74 mg/m³, 2 ppm as TWA; 19,35 mg/m³, 5 ppm as STEL; (skin)

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment.

NOTES
In case of blue lips, fingernails or skin treatment with 100% oxygen may be needed; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Specific treatment with antidotes like methylene blue can not be used for pregnant women and persons with a G6PD enzyme deficiency. These people should avoid all contact. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
