Inhalation: Move person to fresh air promptly, keep breathing normal, seek medical attention if cough, headache, or dizziness show
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of lukewarm water, remove contaminated clothing, wash again if irritation lingers, get medical help for blisters or broken skin
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes, pull eyelids apart occasionally, do not let affected person rub eyes, call poison control or see a physician if irritation cannot be relieved
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical assistance, present product label or container if available to responders

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong direct water jets may spread spilled material
Hazards: Decomposes on burning to release toxic and corrosive fumes, hydrogen chloride, sulfur oxides
Protective Actions: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus, full turnout gear, cool containers with water spray, control runoff to avoid environmental contamination
Special Procedures: Remove containers from fire area if safe, stay upwind, avoid contact with decomposition byproducts

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area of untrained personnel, ventilate closed spaces, wear gloves, safety goggles, suitable mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off into sewers, surface water, or soil, notify regulatory authorities if contamination occurs
Containment: Absorb spills with sand or inert material, collect waste in sealed labeled containers
Cleanup Methods: Wash spill area with soap and water after removal, ventilate site post-cleanup, dispose of waste in accordance with regional regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling: Keep containers tightly sealed, avoid splashing, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area, minimize dust, wear protective gloves, goggles, coat, avoid inhalation of vapor or dust
Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated place away from sunlight and incompatible materials such as oxidizers, acids, and strong bases, use lockable chemical storage or certified cabinet, keep separate from food and drink supplies, store with proper signage and restricted access

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No national occupational limits assigned; working in well-ventilated spaces or under fume hood recommended
