Explosion Data: Dust may form explosive mixtures in air under certain conditions
Precautions: Remove containers from area if safe, ventilate closed spaces
Personal Protection: Wear suitable respiratory, skin, and eye protection
Spill Response: Avoid creating dust clouds, keep unprotected persons away
Containment: Carefully sweep up spilled powder; use wet methods to prevent dust formation
Cleaning Methods: Wash area with plenty of water after pickup; avoid dry sweeping
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to drains, surface and groundwater
Reporting: Notify appropriate authorities in case of large releases or environmental impact
Handling: Avoid dust generation, handle in a well-ventilated area, minimize skin and eye exposure, keep container tightly closed
