Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for allergic reactions or complications

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguisher
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet in confined space may increase contamination risk
Fire Hazards: Material is not regarded as highly flammable, but thermal decomposition may generate irritating fumes like nitrogen oxides or carbon oxides
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing resistant to chemical exposure
Firefighting Instructions: Remove containers from fire area if safe to do, apply water spray to exposed containers to keep them cool
Combustion Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, organic fragments
Additional Risks: Dust formation in air can present a minor explosion risk under rare circumstances

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use appropriate respiratory protection if dust forms, avoid contact with skin and eyes, ensure adequate ventilation in spill area, restrict access to spill area
Protective Equipment: Wear chemical splash goggles, gloves (nitrile or latex), laboratory coat
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, avoid release into soil, drains, or waterways
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up with non-sparking tools, collect spilled material into clearly labeled containers for disposal, clean area with damp cloth or absorbent material
Other Precautions: Dispose of contaminated cleaning materials as hazardous waste
Decontamination: Use water and detergent solution for ground surfaces
Reporting: Report large spills or exposures to local authorities according to regulations
