Advice for Firefighters: Avoid inhaling fumes and dust; use water spray to cool unopened containers; move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk
Explosion Data: Not known to form explosive mixtures with air under normal conditions

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, lab coat; ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow runoff into sewers, surface water, or soil; contain spill using inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite); avoid dust formation
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or scoop up spilled material into appropriate chemical waste containers; prevent generation of dust; wipe area with damp cloth or mop
Disposal Considerations for Waste: Place all contaminated cleanup materials in suitable, labeled disposal containers for hazardous waste
Reporting Requirements: Alert appropriate authorities if spill enters waterways or public land

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in fume hood or well-ventilated area; avoid direct contact with skin, eyes; wash thoroughly after handling; keep container tightly closed
