First Aid Measures

General Advice: Take patient to fresh air; remove contaminated clothing; provide symptomatic care
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, keep at rest, and monitor breathing
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and water; seek medical advice if symptoms occur
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly but do not induce vomiting; seek immediate medical assistance
Most Important Symptoms: Nausea, irritation, headache, allergic reaction, dizziness

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream increases risk of wider contamination
Hazards: Decomposition releases toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Special Procedures: Prevent contaminated water runoff entering drains or watercourses; isolate hazard area

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use recommended personal protective equipment, ventilate area, avoid dust or aerosol formation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage without harming remedial personnel; do not let product enter drains, waterways, or soil
Methods for Containment: Spill should be covered with inert absorbent material, collected, and placed in appropriate labeled containers for disposal
Methods for Cleaning Up: Clean area with detergent and water, ventilate affected zone, monitor air quality if dust develops

Handling and Storage

Protective Measures: Use with adequate ventilation; minimize dust generation; avoid breathing dust, vapors, or mist
Safe Handling Advice: Wear protective gloves, chemical safety goggles, and appropriate clothing; do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area; avoid exposure to heat, sparks, open flame
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids or bases
Special Storage Requirements: Store locked up, label all containers

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific official limit; minimize exposure as low as possible
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation; handling in closed systems recommended
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing, appropriate respiratory protection for dust or fumes
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling; do not eat or drink in work area
