ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS

PREVENTION

FIRST AID/
FIRE FIGHTING

FIRE Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.


EXPOSURE See EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE.
AVOID ALL CONTACT!

•INHALATION
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
Fresh air, rest.
•SKIN
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
•EYES
Safety spectacles
Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
•INGESTION
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS TO YELLOW LIQUID

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating at temperatures above 320° C producing hydrogen chloride and phosphorus oxides. Reacts with strong bases and strong oxidants.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established.
MAK not established.


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:


EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
