First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person out of site of exposure, get fresh air, support breathing, seek medical help if symptoms persist, avoid mouth-to-mouth contact
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed skin with large volumes of water and mild soap, seek advice if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Immediately flush open eye with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if safe, seek urgent medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, avoid vomiting unless instructed, do not give anything by mouth if person is unconscious, immediate medical attention is important

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam, use water spray for larger fires
Hazardous Combustion Products: Produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Specific Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures with air, heat or flames increase risk
Additional Advice: Approach from upwind to avoid smoke or fumes, isolate hazard area, keep containers cool with water spray

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use full protective clothing, gloves, goggles, and a dust mask or respirator
Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge to drains, soil and waterways, contain spill prevent spreading
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up material gently to prevent dust, place in properly labeled containers, decontaminate area with water and detergent, ventilate area well
Disposal: Dispose through licensed chemical waste contractor, do not mix with general trash

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle in a chemical fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation, avoid breathing dust, minimize direct handling, prevent contact with skin and eyes, use tools to manipulate material, avoid eating or drinking during work
Storage: Store in tightly sealed, corrosion-resistant containers, keep out of direct sunlight, maintain in a cool dry place, segregate from acids, oxidizers, and other incompatibles, ensure storage area is secure against unauthorized access, clearly label containers

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH values, follow best practices for hazardous organic powders
Respiratory Protection: Use approved particle respirator or respirators for organic vapors depending on risk assessment, especially if dust is generated
Eye Protection: Safety goggles with side-shields, do not use contact lenses in dusty work
Skin Protection: Chemically resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab coat, and long sleeves
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust, keep eyewash and safety shower nearby
Hygiene: Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling, do not take contaminated clothing home

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Toxic if swallowed or inhaled, skin contact can cause irritation and possible allergy
Chronic Toxicity: Extended exposure may cause nervous system effects, possible mutagenic (tests not fully conclusive)
Skin/Eye Irritation: Confirmed irritant to both skin and eyes, effects may be delayed
Sensitization: May produce allergic reaction on repeated or heavy exposure
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as human carcinogen based on available data, full studies lacking
Mutagenicity: Potential mutagenic risk indicated in some in vitro studies
Additional Data: Seek medical attention with symptoms, effects may be more severe through prolonged exposures

Ecological Information

Aquatic Toxicity: May be harmful to aquatic life, no full ecotoxicological profile
Persistence and Degradability: Chemical likely resists rapid breakdown, persists in soil and water
Mobility: Low vapor pressure makes atmospheric spread limited, some migration through soil or water possible
