ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the
body by inhalation of its aerosol and by
ingestion.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance is a strong oxidant and
reacts violently with combustible and
reducing materials. The substance is a
strong acid, it reacts violently with bases
and is corrosive to most common metals
forming a flammable/explosive gas
(hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Reacts
violently with water and organic
materials with evolution of heat (see
Notes). Upon heating, irritating or toxic
fumes (or gases) (sulfur oxides) are
formed.

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20C is negligible; a
harmful concentration of airborne
particles can, however, be reached
quickly on spraying.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM
EXPOSURE:
Corrosive. The substance is very
corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the
respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion.
Inhalation of an aerosol of this substance
may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
