Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Move victim to fresh air immediately. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with copious water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical help for irritation or rash.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently for at least 15 minutes under running water, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present. Seek prompt medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Never induce vomiting. Immediately seek medical attention.
Symptoms/Effects: Abdominal cramps, vomiting, severe headache, respiratory distress, convulsions possible with large doses
Flammability: Not combustible, but toxic fumes develop if involved in fire
Explosion Risk: No known risk of explosion from pure solid
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry agents, foam or water spray appropriate for surrounding material
Precautions for Firefighters: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus needed. Avoid inhaling fumes. Cool containers exposed to flames with water spray.
Combustion Products: Strontium oxides, arsenic oxides, irritating and toxic gases
Personal Protection: Respiratory protection, chemical-proof gloves, full protective clothing, goggles
Spill Cleanup: Carefully sweep up without creating dust. Place in sealed, labeled containers. Avoid runoff to environment.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, or soil. Notify authorities if spillage causes environmental contamination.
Methods for Containment: Use damp disposable cloths for final cleanup, ventilate area, decontaminate surfaces with suitable reducing agents
Disposal of Clean Up Materials: Treat as hazardous waste in accordance with local, regional, and national laws
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing dust or vapor, never pipette by mouth, employ fume extraction where possible, keep away from food and drink
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking, or smoking. Do not eat or store food in work area.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers in dry, cool, locked corrosive-resistant cabinet, away from acids, reducing agents
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, active metals
Control Parameters: Workplace exposure limits for inorganic arsenic suggested at 0.01 mg/m³ (OSHA), Strontium compounds handled with strict engineering controls
