	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 27°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 27°C use a closed system and ventilation.	Use fine water spray, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

STRICT HYGIENE!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain. Skin burns.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Ingestion	Cough. Burning sensation in the throat and chest.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. Serious local effects by all routes of exposure. Effects of short-term exposure The vapour is irritating to the respiratory tract and eyes. The substance is severely irritating to the eyes. The substance is corrosive to the skin.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged inhalation of high concentrations may cause effects on the lungs.
