Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; wear chemical splash goggles, gloves, and dust mask or respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers or surface waterways
Spill Cleanup Methods: Contain spill and carefully collect material using non-sparking tools; place in labeled, sealed container for disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill site with mild detergent and water once material is removed
Special Procedures: Ventilate area; control dust generation by gentle sweeping or vacuuming with HEPA equipment; avoid dry sweeping which increases inhalation risks

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid dust formation; keep containers tightly closed; open containers in well-ventilated places; use personal protective equipment described in section on personal protection
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face thoroughly before breaks and after work; do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area
Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong acids, bases, strong oxidizers; avoid exposure to heat sources or open flames
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep container tightly closed and labeled; segregate from incompatible chemicals
Special Storage Instructions: Protect from direct sunlight; avoid excessive moisture; set up designated chemical storage cabinet where possible; store away from food and beverages

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No regulated exposure limits, but general dust threshold limit values apply at 10 mg/m³ (inhalable) or 3 mg/m³ (respirable) fraction
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation at points of dust generation; general dilution ventilation in handling areas
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), laboratory coat or disposable coveralls, and use of particulate filtering respirator (minimum N95 or equivalent) for dust
Work Practices: No eating, drinking, or smoking in chemical handling areas; implement good housekeeping and regular cleaning
Environmental Controls: Prevent contaminated run-off; use closed handling systems where possible; collect spillage and waste for appropriate disposal
