First Aid Measures

General Advice: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse exposed area thoroughly
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, support breathing, consult physician
Skin Contact: Rinse thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open, medical evaluation recommended
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical assistance, monitor for symptoms such as stomach pain, headache, or malaise

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical powder, foam, water spray
Special Hazards: Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions (hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides)
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus
Other Advice: Cool containers with water spray from a safe distance, prevent fire run-off from entering drains

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, laboratory coat, approved mask in confined areas
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to soil, surface water or drainage system; spill must be contained
Methods for Clean-up: Absorb with sand or inert material, sweep up carefully, transfer to container for disposal
Ventilation: Use local exhaust in contaminated area to disperse vapors/dust
Decontamination: Wash spill site thoroughly after material pickup is complete

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation, avoid breathing dust or vapors, avoid skin and eye contact, keep away from heat and open flames, wash hands thoroughly after use
Storage: Store in tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidants and acids, protect from direct sunlight and moisture, secure against unauthorized use

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust, laboratory-scale procedures recommended
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator if dust or aerosols are generated
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling, always wash hands after use, remove contaminated clothing promptly

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed (rat oral LD50 between 300-2000 mg/kg, data from structural relatives)
Skin Contact: Causes mild to moderate irritation
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness, and watering
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may lead to dermatitis
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, no data suggesting carcinogenic potential
Mutagenicity: Not evaluated by standard mutagenicity assays
Sensitization: Not expected to produce allergic reaction, but handle with care
Target Organs: Data insufficient; general caution advised

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Limited data; avoid environmental release due to possible aquatic toxicity
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, can persist in surface waters
Bioaccumulation Potential: No evidence of significant bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile if released; low water solubility limits rapid dispersion
Other Environmental Hazards: No known ozone-depleting potential; minimize release to environment

Disposal Considerations

Waste Disposal Methods: Incinerate or dispose of as hazardous chemical waste in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
