11 Toxicological information
Acute toxicity:
Primary irritant effect:
on the skin: Irritant to skin and mucous membranes.
on the eye: Irritating effect.
Sensitization: No sensitizing effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Many nitriles resemble cyanides in toxicity due to the possible
generation of hydrogen cyanide when combined with acids. Exposure to
nitriles may cause increased salivation, flushing of the face, eye and
respiratory tract irritation, shallow respiration, nausea, vomiting,
weakness, headache and diarrhea. Jaundice, anemia, and leucocytosis has
been reported in some cases. Some are suspected carcinogens, teratogens
or mutagens.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known.
No classification data on carcinogenic properties of this material is
available from the EPA, IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH.

12 Ecological information:
General notes:
Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper
governmental permits.
