	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use powder, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Sore throat. Vomiting.	Use local exhaust.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Redness. Burning sensation. Pain. Blisters.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Watering of the eyes. Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles or face shield.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Burning sensation in the throat and chest.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Reacts with strong bases and strong acids. This produces ammonia. Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides. Reacts violently with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.	Formula: C₁₀H₅ClN₂ / ClC₆H₄CH=C(CN)₂ Molecular mass: 188.6 Boiling point: 310-315°C Melting point: 93-96°C Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 0.1-0.5 Vapour pressure, Pa at ?°C: 0.0045 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 6.5

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 Lachrymation. The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the lungs.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
