Safety Profile
Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by skin contact and ingestion. A skin and severe eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes. See also PHENOL and other butyl phenols.
