Advice: Evacuate personnel from the area, avoid inhaling fumes, and control runoff from firefighting to prevent contamination of water courses

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Don suitable protective clothing, gloves, and safety goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leaks or spillage if safe, avoid entry into drains, surface or groundwater
Cleanup Methods: Gently collect spill using non-sparking tools, soak up residues with inert absorbent materials, transfer waste into a secure, labeled container
Decontamination: Ventilate and rinse area with copious amounts of water to remove traces, dispose of contaminated tools as hazardous waste
Reference to Other Sections: Consult section on disposal considerations for proper waste handling

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing, use in a well-ventilated fume hood, keep containers tightly closed

12. Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No specific test data, but similar zinc-organic compounds may be moderately harmful to aquatic life in large concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Organic components likely biodegrade slowly; zinc residues persist in soil and water
Bioaccumulative Potential: Zinc does not accumulate significantly in most terrestrial organisms, but concentrations can build up in aquatic environments
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile; zinc cations may attach to soil particles
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled release into the environment to limit cumulative zinc impact on aquatic systems

13. Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and seal waste in dedicated, labeled containers; follow approved procedures for hazardous waste disposal
Disposal of Containers: Rinse thoroughly and dispose of as hazardous waste; do not reuse for food or drink
