Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire area if possible; cool with water spray; avoid inhaling combustion products
Personal Protection: Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, and soil
Containment Procedures: Absorb with inert material (e.g., sand or vermiculite); scoop solid spill into covered containers
Cleaning Up: Wash spill site with water and detergent after material pickup is complete
Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid inhalation or skin contact; keep away from heat or ignition sources
Equipment: Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Storage Conditions: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place; store in original container; avoid direct sunlight and moisture
Incompatibility: Store separately from strong oxidizers, acids, and alkalis
Packaging Materials: Use amber glass or high-density polymer containers for extended stability
Ventilation: Use local exhaust or adequate general ventilation
Personal Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles, protective gloves (nitrile recommended), and long-sleeved clothing
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirators if vapor or dust is present above recommended levels
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling; avoid eating or drinking near chemical use
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; minimize exposure as much as possible
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid

Storage Life: Up to two years if kept sealed and away from incompatible substances
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Eye and skin irritation, headache or dizziness from high vapor concentrations
Chronic Effects: No long-term data available; experimental data suggest low toxicity for repeated exposure
LD50 (Oral, Rat): Estimated above 2000 mg/kg
Sensitization: No evidence for sensitizing properties in available research
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity: No reported mutagenic effects
Reproductive Toxicity: No reproductive toxicity found in available animal studies
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be biodegradable over time in soil and water environments
Bioconcentration Potential: Low risk for bioaccumulation
Ecotoxicity: Slightly harmful to aquatic species at high concentrations; fish LC50 (estimated) above 100 mg/L
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile in soil based on estimated log Kow and solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Releases to environment should be avoided to reduce risk to aquatic systems
