Special Precautions: Prevent runoff into water sources and sewers, ventilate area after fire is extinguished
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate safety gear; gloves, safety goggles, dust mask or respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry of spilled substance into sewers, soil, and water bodies, inform relevant authorities if environmental contamination is likely
Containment Methods: Sweep up material without creating airborne dust, use damp cloth or vacuum equipped with HEPA filtration
Cleaning Up: Collect material in sealable containers for proper disposal, decontaminate affected area with water and detergent
Other Recommendations: Avoid direct contact, ventilate impacted area thoroughly after clean-up, do not reuse cleaning materials contaminated with substance
Handling Practices: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing dust and contact with skin or eyes, handle with care to avoid spills and dust formation
