Safety information for handling, packaging and storage:

Parafluoroaniline is considered to be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation to the
eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
Long-term exposure to parafluoroaniline may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. It may also cause
cancer in laboratory animals.
Users should take appropriate precautions, including wearing protective clothing and gloves, and should avoid prolonged
or repeated exposure to the substance.
In case of skin contact, the affected area should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. In case of eye contact,
the eyes should be flushed with water for at least 15 minutes. If ingested, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Parafluoroaniline should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat and ignition. It should be kept in a tightly
closed container to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
It should be handled with care to avoid exposure. Users should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including
gloves, eye protection, and a respirator if necessary.
Spills or leaks should be cleaned up promptly using appropriate methods, and contaminated materials should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
