Safety Note: Tetrahydrofuran is a highly flammable liquid and produces vapours that may form explosive mixtures with air. It may cause eye irritation, dizziness, and drowsiness upon exposure. Tetrahydrofuran can also form explosive peroxides during storage, particularly when exposed to air and light. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Handle it in a suitable, well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment. Keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidising agents. Follow the supplier's storage and peroxide-management guidance, including applicable testing and disposal procedures, as well as the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
