If the liquid gets into the eyes, strong corrosion occurs, in more serious cases it causes blindness. Burning sensation, lachrymation may occur. In chronic cases lung oedema, conjunctivitis may occur. During the chemical processes, higher toxicity gases, vapours, liquids may be formed. No other known specific hazards for human or environment.
