Particular Hazards: Product may emit toxic fumes of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and carbon oxides on combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice: Avoid inhalation of smoke or combustion products, keep container cool by spraying with water
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel, wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, ensure appropriate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, avoid entry into watercourses, drains, and sewers; alert local authorities if significant environmental contamination occurs.
Containment & Cleaning Methods: Sweep up, shovel carefully into sealable containers using non-sparking tools, avoid creating dust, wash area with plenty of water, collect washings for proper disposal.
Handling: Handle in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area, do not allow material contact with skin, eyes, or clothing, keep away from sources of ignition, use only non-sparking tools, avoid dust formation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances such as acids and oxidizers, store in original tightly closed container, segregate from food and drink, clearly mark storage location.
Exposure Limits: No specific workplace exposure limits established, control as for nuisance dust
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods, local exhaust, and process enclosures to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, impervious clothing, safety goggles, face shield where dust formation likely, approved respirator in absence of adequate ventilation
