Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets may spread powder
Special Hazards: Combustion may generate oxides of phosphorus, carbon, and calcium
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Specific Methods: Prevent entry of extinguishing media and runoff into drains or watercourses

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, avoid dust formation, use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into soil, sewers, or waterways
Methods for Containment: Sweep or scoop up material, avoid creating dust clouds
Clean-Up Methods: Collect in a suitable container for disposal under local regulations, ventilate area, wash spill site after removal

Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, provide adequate ventilation especially in bulk handling areas
