	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Use dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Sore throat. Nausea.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

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 is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the liver. This may result in impaired functions.
