Chemical Structure

Chemical Description

Pharmacology and Metabolism

It can be absorbed dermally, inhaled, or ingested.

Health Effects

From International Programme on Chemical Safety:
"The vapor is mildly irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the blood , resulting in lesions of blood cells and kidney impairment at high levels. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure far above the OEL may result in unconsciousness."

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
"The liquid defeats the skin. The substance may have effects on the blood , resulting in lesions of blood cells, anaemiaand kidney impairment. May cause toxicity to human reproduction or development."

Precautions

Avoid contact if possible. Use protective gloves, clothing and eyewear when dealing with the chemical and make sure area is well-ventilated (Inchem). If one comes in contact, one should remove affected clothing, wash eyes immediately, and get to fresh air.
