Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Where governmentally imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL are in effect, such limits shall take precedence. Incompatibility with Other Materials Incompatible with strong oxidants and peroxide catalysts. Decomposition Decomposes with heat. Polymerization Polymerization can occur.
Conditions leading to polymerization are peroxide catalysts.
Inhibitor levels should be maintained. The compound is a moderate skin irritant and a slight eye irritant. Toxicity described in animals from a single exposure by inhalation to high concentrations include severe weight loss, liver damage, and narcosis. Repeated inhalation exposures caused tremors and narcosis. Administration of the compound by oral gavage resulted in reduced weight gain and kidney changes in male rats.
