	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. See Chemical Dangers.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	Use alcohol-resistant foam, water in large amounts, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

STRICT HYGIENE! PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Headache. Nausea. Vomiting. Muscle cramps. Muscle pain.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain. See Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Remove contaminated clothes. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs. Wear protective gloves when administering first aid.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	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	Abdominal pain. See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Rest. Refer immediately for medical attention.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. Chemical dangers Reacts with carbon tetrachloride, nitric acid and chlorosulfonic acid. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the muscles. This may result in muscle contractions. The effects may be delayed.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys, resulting in impaired functions.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.5 ppm as TWA; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen). EU-OEL: 4.8 mg/m³, 2 ppm as TWA; 12.1 mg/m³, 5 ppm as STEL; (skin). MAK: skin absorption (H); carcinogen category: 3

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

NOTES
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
