ENVIRONMENTAL | The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. | |||
N O T E S | ||||
Combustible vapour/air mixtures difficult to ignite, may be developed under certain conditions. Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Card has been partly updated in October 2004. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
