	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 101°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames. Above 101°C use a closed system and ventilation.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Sore throat.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the liver. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
