PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS-TO-PALE-YELLOW LIQUID. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces highly flammable and toxic gases (phosphine see ICSC 0694). Reacts with oxidizing substances. This produces toxic fumes including phosphorous oxides.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by ingestion, by inhalation and through the skin. Effects of short-term exposure Cholinesterase inhibition. The substance may cause effects on nervous system. This may result in central nervous system disorders.	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 The substance may have effects on the nervous system.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

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

Effects of short-term exposure
Cholinesterase inhibition. The substance may cause effects on nervous system. This may result in central nervous system disorders.

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
The substance may have effects on the nervous system.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.01 mg/m³, as TWA; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); BEI issued

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home.
