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 be irritating to the respiratory tract and skin. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The substance may cause effects on the bladder. This may result in inflammation and blood in the urine. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.	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 This substance is carcinogenic to humans. See Notes.
