11.2 Additional Information
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
Treat as cyanide poisoning., Always have on hand a cyanide first-aid kit, together with proper instructions., The onset of symptoms is generally delayed pending con- version to cyanide., Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Headache, Dizziness, Rash, Cya- nosis
Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
