Safety information of 4-Methoxybenzoyl chloride:
When you are dealing with this chemical, you should be cautious. For one thing, it is corrosive which may destroy living tissue on contact. This chemical may cause lung damage if swallowed and then may have danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Besides, it will have possible risk of harm to the unborn child. For another thing, it is highly flammable which may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source, and it has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. And the vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.Due to so many dangers, you should take different measures to deal with different cases. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. If in case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice; If in case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible); If if swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.
