Advice: Evacuate personnel from the area, avoid inhaling fumes, and control runoff from firefighting to prevent contamination of water courses
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
Precautions for Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing, use in a well-ventilated fume hood, keep containers tightly closed
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from heat sources, keep chemical in original or compatible container with proper labeling
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizers might cause hazardous reactions

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, zinc oxide fumes during fire or thermal decomposition
Polymerization: Will not occur
Routes of Exposure: Eye, skin, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Data limited; similar compounds show low oral toxicity
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause mild to moderate irritation
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes moderate to severe irritation upon contact
Respiratory Sensitization: Dusts could irritate nasal passages and respiratory system
Ingestion: May result in gastrointestinal upset, nausea, or vomiting
Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity based on available data
Mutagenicity: Insufficient data
Reproductive Toxicity: No specific risks known
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure effects undetermined, prudent to limit contact based on chemical nature
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
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
Local Legislation: Rely on guidelines set by environmental protection agencies and local hazardous waste authorities
