	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable.	NO open flames.	Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Dizziness. Headache. Weakness. Muscle pain. Incoordination. Fever.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Further see Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from food and feedstuffs, strong oxidants, bases and strong acids.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

ICSC: 0749

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS OR PALE YELLOW CRYSTALS. Physical dangers No data. Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts with strong acids, bases and strong oxidants. This generates fire hazard.	Formula: C₁₆H₁₄Cl₂O₃ Molecular mass: 325.2 Melting point: 37°C Density: 1.28 g/cm³ Solubility in water: very poor Vapour pressure at 20°C: negligible Flash point: see Notes Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.74

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in impaired functions.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in impaired functions.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish. 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
The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
