EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and blood. See Notes. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and blood. See Notes. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.

NOTES
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Isolate contaminated clothing by sealing in a bag or other container.
