General Advice: Always seek prompt medical assessment for exposure involving children, pregnant individuals, or those with pre-existing health concerns
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Avoid use of direct high-pressure water streams, which may spread powder
Special Hazards: Combustion releases toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Use full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhaling fumes
Firefighting Advice: Approach fire from upwind, cool containers with water if exposed to heat, prevent run-off from contaminating water supplies
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, eye protection, dust mask or respirator, avoid creating dust clouds
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, soil, or waterways, contain spill using non-combustible absorbent material such as sand or vermiculite
Cleanup Methods: Scoop up spilled product, place in labeled container for disposal, ventilate area thoroughly, decontaminate surfaces with water and mild detergent
Reporting: Notify relevant local authorities in the event of a large spill or environmental release
Handling: Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin or eye contact by using approved protective gear, maintain good industrial hygiene, wash hands after use, avoid food and drink in the working area
Storage: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, keep away from direct sunlight and moisture, restrict unauthorized access
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, bases, oxidizers
Shelf Life: Maintain within the recommended storage temperature range to ensure stability and potency
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific regulatory limits established for Benorilate; handle as a nuisance dust with exposure control at 10 mg/m3 (total dust) as a guideline
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, enclose processes when possible, provide eyewash stations and safety showers
Respiratory Protection: Use approved dust mask or respirator to limit inhalation of fine particles
Skin Protection: Wear suitable gloves (nitrile or latex), long-sleeved clothing, and lab coats
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles or face shield

Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat): estimated > 1000 mg/kg
Skin and Eye Irritation: Causes moderate irritation, especially with repeated contact
Symptoms of Exposure: Nausea, headache, abdominal pain, skin redness, eye discomfort
Chronic Toxicity: Long-term or high-level exposure can adversely affect the liver and kidneys; pre-existing health problems may increase susceptibility
Carcinogenicity: No classification as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: Not expected to be mutagenic based on structure and analog data
