	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion as a result of decomposition when heated.		In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

See EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Sore throat. Cough.	Use closed system or ventilation.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Burns.	Wear safety goggles or face shield.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Ingestion	Sore throat. Abdominal pain.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts through the skin, by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is severely irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the kidneys. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
