gaseous form, phosgene, car-bon monoxide (CO)
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
- Inhalation: Practically non-toxic in experiments conducted on animals. No effect below 50,000 p.p.m.
- As with other volatile aliphatic halogenated compounds, with the accumulation of vapours and/or the inhalation of large quantities,
the product can cause: loss of con-sciousness and heart problems aggravated by stress and lack of oxygen; risk of death.

ground and sediments log Koc = 1.8.
- Bioaccumulation: Practically non-absorbable by biological organisms: log pow 1.08.
- Aquatic toxicity: Acute toxicity, level of toxicity for fish over 24 hours = 180 mg/l; for anaerobic bacteria, level of toxicity over 24 hours
> 400 mg/l.
