PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating (at 965°C), producing molybdate oxide fumes.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: Mo, insoluble compounds, respirable fraction 3 mg/m3 as TWA TLV: Mo, insoluble compounds, inhalable fraction 10 mg/m3 as TWA (ACGIH 2006).
MAK: IIb (not established but data is available) (DFG 2006).


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:


INHALATION RISK:
A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
May cause mechanical irritation to
