Impurities: Trace level of deoxycholic acid and residual moisture may be present based on supplier
Other Components: None expected for analytical grade
Inhalation: Remove affected person to fresh air, keep at rest, seek medical attention if symptoms persist such as coughing or difficulty breathing
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with mild soap and large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing and shoes, seek medical help for irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for several minutes, lift upper and lower eyelids occasionally, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, immediate medical advice required for persistent discomfort
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with plenty of water, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, seek prompt medical advice even if no symptoms are immediately obvious
Notes for Physician: Treat symptomatically, provide respiratory support if necessary, observation required for delayed reactions
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder, or alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high power water jet as dust may be dispersed
Special Hazards Arising from Substance: Combustion can produce carbon oxides, sodium oxides, acrid smoke
Firefighter Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), full protective suit, minimize skin contact, use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire
Additional Information: Sodium deoxycholate itself is not highly flammable but may support combustion in presence of organic material
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective gear, avoid dust formation, ensure sufficient ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to drains, surface water, and soil, avoid dust dispersal into the environment
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up without creating dust, place in suitable closed container for disposal, wash residual area with water, ventilate the area
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, alert emergency services if spill is significant
Decontamination: Area should be washed down with water after material cleanup
Safe Handling: Wear suitable gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, handle in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area, avoid breathing dust or contacting skin and eyes, do not eat or drink in work area
Storage Requirements: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible substances such as strong acids and oxidizers, keep container tightly sealed
Storage Temperature: Preferred between 2-8°C (refrigerated), avoid temperature extremes
Special Storage Considerations: Protect from moisture, label all containers clearly, restrict access to authorized personnel
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH limits established; handle with standard precautions for irritant and harmful substances
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain air levels below recommended exposure limits
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety goggles with side-shields, chemical-resistant gloves, laboratory coat, respiratory protection with N95 mask or higher grade if dust forms
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, change clothing if contaminated, do not touch face or rub eyes during use
