First Aid Measures

General Advice: Consult a doctor or poison center in all cases of exposure.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical assistance if coughing or respiratory symptoms persist.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove contact lenses, if worn and easy to do.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention if symptoms develop.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: Combustion may create irritating fumes (carbon oxides, nitric oxides).
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Special Procedures: Avoid inhaling smoke. Cool containers near fire with water spray.
Explosion Data: Not sensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge under normal conditions.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation. Ventilate the area. Use personal protective equipment as required.
Spill Response: Pick up with shovel or vacuum equipped with HEPA filter. Collect and place in a suitable container for proper disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or waterways; sweep and contain spills quickly.
Decontamination: Clean surface thoroughly with water and detergent. Dispose according to section on waste disposal.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle in accordance with good laboratory practices. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not ingest. Implement local exhaust ventilation where dust may form.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid light and moisture. Do not store with incompatible chemicals (strong oxidizing agents).
Specific Use: Follow recommendations for pharmaceutical ingredients or laboratory chemicals as per standard operating procedures.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Use dust mask or respirator approved for particulates if airborne concentrations become high.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.
Skin Protection: Wear suitable gloves (nitrile recommended) and lab coat.
Other Protection: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas.
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established; manage as for typical low-toxicity pharmaceutical powder.
