	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Convulsions. Laboured breathing. Unconsciousness.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! See Inhalation.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes		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.	Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS.

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic fumes including hydrogen fluoride.

Formula: C₂H₂FO₂.Na / CH₂FCOONa
Molecular mass: 100.02
Decomposes at 200°C
Solubility in water: good

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 may cause effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. This may result in cardiac disorders and respiratory failure. Exposure could cause death.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
