PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
PURPLE CRYSTALLINE POWDER OR NEEDLES.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
On combustion, forms toxic fumes ( carbon monoxide , nitrogen oxides ). Reacts with strong acids and strong oxidants .

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established.


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance is irritating to the skin and the eyes . The substance may cause effects on the blood following ingestion , resulting in the formation of methaemoglobin. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
