Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

It is important to note that although the substance itself is assessed as only hazardous for local effects for health, stored product may contain hydrogen sulphide at over 0.1% and controls must be in place to protect workers if hydrogen sulphide is detected.  Therefore, when opening sealed containers, it is recommended to do so with care and where there is good flow of air away from the operator (eg if indoors, forced ventilation or extract ventilation).  Where this is not possible, personal protection is required suitable to control hydrogen sulphide gas.  

Workplace monitoring for hydrogen sulphide is also recommended.

Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)
