First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; keep comfortable for breathing; seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash skin with copious amounts of water and soap; medical advice if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, seek attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious, do not induce vomiting, immediate medical attention
Symptoms: Coughing, shortness of breath, skin redness, blistering, eye watering, stomach discomfort
Advice to Physician: Treat symptomatically, support respiratory and cardiovascular function if necessary

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide for fires involving small amount, avoid high-pressure jets
Unsuitable Media: Avoid water jets that could scatter material
Hazards during Fire: Combustion produces nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, hydrogen cyanide, irritating gases
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate chemical protective clothing
Special Procedures: Cool containers exposed to flame with water spray; prevent fire-fighting runoff from entering drains or watercourses

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear lab coat or protective suit, nitrile gloves, safety goggles, use respiratory protection for dust
Spill Cleanup Methods: Ventilate area; avoid dust generation; sweep spillage into suitable containers for disposal; decontaminate area with detergent solution
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering sewers, groundwater, or watercourses; collect and dispose of residue safely
Cleanup Crew: Trained personnel only; avoid untrained individuals exposure

Handling and Storage

Handling: Work in chemical fume hood if possible; wear suitable protective equipment; avoid skin, eye, and clothing contact; avoid breathing dust
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and acids; keep away from heat, flame, and direct sunlight
Storage Temperature: Room temperature or as specified by supplier
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, acid chlorides, anhydrides

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Limits: No established exposure limit; minimize dust or vapor formation
Engineering Controls: Work in chemical fume hood or use local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended); safety goggles or face shield; lab coat or apron; wear respiratory protection for airborne particulates
