SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency overview WARNING: SENSITIZATION CAN OCCUR IN SOME INDIVIDUALS, LEADING TO ASTHMA-LIKE SPASMS OF THE BRONCHIAL TUBES AND DIFFICULTY BREATHING. INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF RESPIRATORY ILLNESS, ASTHMATIC CONDITIONS, EYE DAMAGE OR TDI SENSITIZATION SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THIS PRODUCT. TDI IS INCLUDED IN THE NTP ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS. RESULTS FROM A TDI HEALTH STUDY INDICATE THAT OVEREXPOSURE TO A RESPIRATORY IRRITANT, RESULTING IN LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT SYMPTOMS COULD INCREASE THE RISKS OF DEVELOPING ASTHMA-LIKE REACTIONS FROM SUBSEQUENT TDI EXPOSURE. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH MAY CAUSE CANCER. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. State of matter: solid Colour: pigmented Odour: slight odour

Principle Routes of Exposure

Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Acute toxicity: Of very high toxicity after short-term inhalation. Virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. Virtually nontoxic after a single ingestion. Irritation / corrosion: Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Sensitization: Sensitization after skin contact possible. The substance may cause sensitization of the respiratory tract. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: Indication of possible carcinogenic effect in animal tests. Repeated dose toxicity: Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. Overexposure may cause CNS depression including headache, dizziness, nausea and loss of consciousness. Reproductive toxicity: The results of animal studies gave no indication of a fertility impairing effect.

Teratogenic Effects

No indications of a developmental toxic / teratogenic effect were seen in animal studies Genotoxicity: The substance was mutagenic in various bacterial test systems; however, a mutagenic effect could not be confirmed in mammalian cell culture.

Environmental effects

Aquatic toxicity: Acutely harmful for aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Degradation / environmental fate: The product is unstable in water. The elimination data also refer to products of hydrolysis.
