Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; never induce vomiting unless advised by medical personnel; seek immediate medical advice
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically; check for delayed effects especially for allergic reactions

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, possibly irritating organic vapors
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Fire or Explosion Hazards: Dust clouds may ignite under rare conditions; avoid open flames
Firefighting Instructions: Evacuate area; cool containers exposed to fire with water mist to prevent rupture; prevent run-off from entering drains

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear respirator, gloves, goggles, and lab coat; evacuate nonessential personnel; avoid breathing dust or vapors
Spill Cleanup: Sweep up powder carefully without creating dust; use HEPA vacuum for large spills or damp mop small amounts; place in clearly labeled, tightly closed container for legal disposal
Environmental Precautions: Do not let material enter the environment; prevent release into soil, surface water, and drains
Disposal: Collect solid material and contaminated tools for hazardous waste disposal under local rules

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact; never eat, drink, or smoke while handling this material; use fume hood or well-ventilated area; wash hands and exposed skin after use
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; store away from strong oxidizers and acids; protect from moisture and direct sunlight; check for container damage regularly
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizing agents
Personal Hygiene: Remove and wash contaminated clothing after use

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Work in a chemical fume hood; keep local exhaust ventilation running during use; monitor air for dust and vapors
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or rubber), splash goggles, lab coat or apron, and dust mask or respirator if airborne dust anticipated
Respiratory Protection: Use dust/powder mask (NIOSH approved) if exposure could occur above recommended levels
Workplace Monitoring: No occupational exposure limits established; air quality checks recommended for bulk handling
Environmental Controls: Avoid spillage into drains; use containment mats for larger operations

Conditions to Avoid: High temperature, sparks, direct flame, humidity
Hazardous Decomposition: Burning produces carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, other toxic vapors
Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization not known to occur

11. Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Oral and dermal toxicity data limited; not expected to be acutely toxic in small laboratory quantities; handle with usual chemical caution
Skin Sensitization: May cause localized redness, swelling, or itching on direct contact
Eye Effects: Dust or splashes might cause mild to moderate irritation
Chronic Effects: Repeated skin contact may result in sensitization or dermatitis over time
Target Organs: Not specifically known; primary hazard is skin and eye irritation
Carcinogenicity: No long-term cancer data; no known carcinogens in chemical structure
Mutagenicity and Teratogenicity: Not studied; no information available

12. Ecological Information

Persistence and Degradability: Degradation data unknown; organic compound likely to degrade slowly by chemical or biological means
Bioaccumulation: No significant evidence for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms
Ecotoxicity: No measured aquatic toxicity; as a precaution, avoid disposal into sewers or open water
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility due to low water solubility; may leach through soil if large amounts mishandled
Other Effects: Not known to disrupt ecosystems at lab scale; still best to contain and capture all residues

13. Disposal Considerations

Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of as hazardous laboratory waste through licensed chemical disposal contractor; incineration preferred if allowed
Contaminated Containers: Rinse thoroughly before recycling or disposal; follow local hazardous waste protocols
