First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, check for signs of breathing, seek medical assistance for symptoms including coughing or chest discomfort
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin thoroughly under running water for at least 15 minutes, call medical personnel if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open, flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes, call physician for examination
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, seek urgent medical attention, do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical authority
Key Symptoms: Irritation, headache, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, possible respiratory distress

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Flood area with water, use water spray, do not use dry chemicals or foam, avoid CO2
Specific Hazards: Releases toxic fumes under fire conditions including bromine and strontium oxides
Protective Equipment: Chemical suit with self-contained breathing apparatus, full face cover, gloves resistant to chemicals
Additional Information: Remove combustibles, evacuate area, use only trained fire responders, cool exposed containers with water mist

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Put on protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles, avoid dust formation, ensure ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Block entry into sewers or surface water, notify environmental authorities if large quantities escape
Clean-up Methods: Collect with non-combustible absorbent material (sand or vermiculite), transfer to sealed waste containers, wash spill site after material pickup
Disposal Information: Refer to disposal section for appropriate guidance

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear PPE including gloves, goggles, lab coat; use outdoors or in well-ventilated labs, prevent dust, keep away from sources of ignition; avoid mixing with reducing agents, acids, or flammable materials
Storage: Isolate from incompatible materials, store in original airtight packaging in cool, dry, ventilated place, separate from organic substances and acids
Special Precautions: Lock storage to restrict access, label containers clearly, check for leaks or damage before handling

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for strontium bromate; follow general nuisance dust guidelines (3 mg/m³ for respirable, 10 mg/m³ for total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use lab fume hood, local ventilation, exhaust system
Personal Protection Equipment: NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for dust, nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical splash-proof goggles, long-sleeved protective clothing, closed shoes
