PNECs:
aqua-freshwater: 88.1 microg/L
aqua-marine water: 8.81 microg/L
sewage treatment plant: 0.229 g/L
sediment-freshwater: 0.605 mg /kg dw
sediment-marine water: 60.5 microg /kg dw
soil: 69.3 microg /kg dw
DNELs:
The main derived long-term DNELs for systemic effects are:
Workers General population
Oral not relevant 0.5 mg/kg bw/day
Dermal 1.4 mg/kg bw/day 0.5 mg/kg bw/day
Inhalation 4.93 mg/m3 0.87 mg/m3
The CHESAR v3.5 exposure model for this substance shows for indoor industrial activities taking max 8 hours/day and below 40 degrees C, with local exhaust ventilation (LEV) present (and running), RCR’s below 1 for the following PROCs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8a, 8b, 9 and 15.
Notes:
• Dustiness of the substance was set at “solid” (none or low dusty form)
• Good general ventilation is assumed in all cases (3-5 air exchanges per hour)
• An advanced occupational health and safety management system has been assumed
• LEV is considered for both inhalation and dermal exposures
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Protective gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing.
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT
None required.
HAND PROTECTION
Protective gloves: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374, class 6, with specific activity training and (other) appropriate dermal protection.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear approved safety goggles.
HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
SKIN PROTECTION
Wear protective clothing.
Stability and reactivity
STABILITY
Stable under normal temperature conditions and recommended use.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
Strong oxidising agents, strong acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS

Disposal considerations
GENERAL INFORMATION
Place into a suitable closed container for disposal as chemical waste.
DISPOSAL METHODS
