Hazard Toxic material. TLV: TWA 10 mg/m3; not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
Risk R20/21/22
Safety Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal and skin contact routes. Human systemic effects by skin contact: somnolence. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Cl−. See also DDT and CHLOROPHENOLS.
Toxicity is relatively low. Inhalation or ingestion causes generalized depression.
