EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

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

Effects of short-term exposure
Exposure above the OEL could cause death. The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin.

Inhalation risk

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.05 ppm as STEL

ENVIRONMENT

NOTES
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
