Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream
Hazards from Combustion: Emits toxic fumes like nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides during burning
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Precautions: Avoid inhaling combustion products, contain runoff water to prevent environmental contamination

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear mask, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, lab coat
Environmental Precautions: Avoid spillage into drains or water sources, contain leaks with absorbent materials
Spill Cleanup Methods: Scoop solids into proper chemical disposal containers, clean area with water and detergent, ventilate space

Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation, use with adequate ventilation, wear safety gear at all times, prevent contact with skin and eyes
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed bottle, cool dry place well below 25°C, keep away from acids and oxidizers
Storage Class: Chemical storage for hazardous substances, segregate from food and incompatible chemicals

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, safety shower, eyewash stations
Personal Protection: Chemical splash goggles, impervious gloves, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator if dust builds up above safe limits
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke near material, wash hands and exposed skin before breaks or leaving lab
