First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with plenty of water and soap for several minutes.
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for several minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice.
Most Important Symptoms: Coughing, irritation of the respiratory tract, headache, dizziness, possible allergic reaction on repeated contact

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Media: None identified
Hazardous Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides upon burning
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Advice for Firefighters: Control spill and water runoff; fight fire from safe distance; use water spray to cool unopened containers

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid breathing dust or vapor
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so; avoid release to the environment
Methods for Clean-Up: Collect and place spilled material in closed containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Use proper personal protective equipment
Spill Control: Wear personal protective gear; absorb spill with inert material such as sand; ventilate area; do not allow product to reach drains or water sources

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle with care in well-ventilated space. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Prevent formation of dust and aerosols.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Separate from incompatible materials such as oxidizers, acids, and bases.
Safe Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling; keep container closed when not in use; store away from food and beverages

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for 3-Nitroanisole; use general dust/vapor controls
Engineering Controls: Work in a chemical fume hood or provide adequate general ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile), tightly fitting safety goggles, lab coat; respiratory protection when higher concentrations or lack of ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling; wash hands after use
Environmental Exposure Controls: Use containment to prevent environmental contamination
