Hazardous Substances Data: 85-01-8(Hazardous Substances Data)
Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mutation data reported. A human skin photosensitizer. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic and tumorigenic data by skin contact. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water, foam, CO₂, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
