<br /> SAFETY PROFILE:
<br /> Confirmed human carcinogen producing myeloid leukemia, Hodgkins disease, and lymphomas by
<br /> inhalation Experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, and tumorigenic data A human poison by
<br /> inhalation An experimental poison by skin contact, intrapentoneal, intravenous, and possibly
<br /> other routes Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes A severe eye and moderate
<br /> skin irntant Human systemic effects by inhalation and ingestion blood changes, increased body
<br /> temperature Expenmental teratogenic and reproductive effects Human mutation data reported
<br /> A narcotic In industry, inhalation is the primary route of chronic benzene poisoning Poisoning by
<br /> skin contact has been reported Recent (1987) research indicates that effects are seen at less than
<br /> 1 ppm Exposures needed to be reduced to 0 1 ppm before no toxic effects were observed
<br /> Elimination is chiefly through the lungs A common air contaminant
<br /> A dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame Explodes on contact with diborane,
<br /> bromine pentafluoride, permanganic acid, peroxomonosulfuric acid, and peroxodi sulfuric acid
<br /> Forms sensitive, explosive mixtures with iodine pentafluoride, silver perchlorate, nitryl
<br /> perchlorate, nitric acid, liquid oxygen, ozone, arsenic pentafluoride + potassium methoxide
<br /> (explodes above 30°C) Ignites on contact with sodium peroxide + water, dioxygenyl
<br /> tetraflu o rob orate, iodine heptafluoride, and dioxygen difluoride Vigorous or incandescent
<br /> reaction with hydrogen + Raney nickel (above 210°C), uranium hexafluoride, and bromine
<br /> tnfluonde Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials, such as C12, Cr03, 02, NC104, 03,
<br /> perchlorates, (AIC13 + FC104), (H2SO4 + permanganates), K202, (AgC104 + acetic acid),
<br /> Na202 Moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame Use with adequate
<br /> ventilation To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical
