Safety Description:Confirmed human carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, and tumorigenic data. A human poison by inhalation and subcutaneous routes. An experimental poison by inhalation, skin contact, subcutaneous, and intravenous routes. An experimental teratogen. A severe human skin and eye irritant. Human mutation data reported. A military blistering gas. Strongly affects the skin, eyes, lungs, and gastric system. Pulmonary lesions are often fatal. It penetrates the skin deeply and injures blood vessels. Minute amounts can cause inflammation. Secondary infections are common. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can be ignited by a large explosive charge. It will react with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. Vigorous reaction with oxidizing materials. Incompatible with bleaching powder. To fight fire, use water, foam, CO₂, dry chemical. Dangerous; when heated to decomposition or on contact with acid or acid fumes it emits highly toxic fumes of SO_x and Cl⁻.
