Advice for Doctors: Provide supportive treatment, treat symptoms, no specific antidote known

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), or foam as required for area
Hazards from Combustion: Emits toxic fumes of chlorine, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and carbon oxides in fire
Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-protective clothing, gloves, and face shield
Firefighter Advice: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces, avoid inhaling combustion products, contain runoff from fire control to prevent contamination of water sources

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, use personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Measures: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, do not allow entry into drains, soil, or waterways
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and shovel spilled material, avoid creating dust, place into suitable labeled container for proper disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill site after material pickup is complete, ventilate area, dispose of residues in accordance with local regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin and eyes, avoid inhaling dust or vapor, use appropriate personal protective equipment, do not eat, drink or smoke during use
Storage: Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, segregate from incompatible substances (acids, bases, oxidizers)
Incompatibilities: Store away from acids, alkalis, strong oxidizing agents, and moisture
General Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit established, minimize dust generation
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or general ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves, impervious clothing, safety goggles, and dust respirator if potential for high airborne concentrations exists
