EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure	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 This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
