First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air immediately. If breathing turns difficult, provide oxygen and get medical attention. Do not hesitate calling emergency services for any severe reaction.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and copious water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, rinse thoroughly, launder before reuse.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with water for minimum 15 minutes, lifting eyelids often. Seek attention if discomfort or redness persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, if conscious. Never induce vomiting unless directed by medical professional. Transport exposed person to medical facility urgently.
Note for Medical Personnel: Treat by symptomatic and supportive measures, monitor respiratory and cardiac function.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray for larger fire scenarios.
Special Hazards: Thermal decomposition releases toxic vapors, chiefly nitrogen oxides, hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other organic gases.
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Prevent runoff from entering drains and waterways.
Explosion Data: No widespread explosive data exist; fine dust may pose ignition risk under right condition.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area as necessary, ventilate. Minimize dust formation. Wear recommended PPE: gloves, goggles, lab coat, NIOSH-approved respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering storm drains, soil, or surface water. Notify safety officials in larger release.
Methods for Containment: Sweep up, place material in chemical waste container. Wash spill site with water and detergent after material pickup.
Clean-Up Procedures: Dispose of all contaminated materials according to local regulations.

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Work in ventilated area. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid formation of airborne dust. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed, labeled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Maintain inventory documentation and restrict unauthorized access.
Incompatibles: Strong oxidizing agents, bases, and acids may trigger dangerous reactions. Separate from sources of ignition to cut risk of hazardous vaporization.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use with mechanical exhaust, chemical fume hood, or equivalent ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves: nitrile or neoprene; Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles; Clothing: lab coat; Respiratory Protection: N95 or better particulate filter as needed.
Exposure Limits: No standard occupational limits published by ACGIH, OSHA, or NIOSH.

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, oral, dermal, ocular
Acute Effects: Irritation of eyes, skin, respiratory tract. Possible effects on central nervous system—drowsiness, dizziness, headache if inhaled or ingested in larger amounts.
Chronic Effects: Not fully studied, so use caution. Repeat exposure could cause sensitization.
LD50/LC50 Data: No specific published animal data; treat as potentially harmful until safety verified.
Carcinogenicity: No evaluations by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Other Data: No reproductive toxicity studies. Avoid direct contact for those with increased risk factors (allergies, medical conditions).

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No specific data; do not allow large amounts to enter natural waterways. Assume as potentially harmful until detailed assessment.
