Specific Hazards: Combustion may release toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Procedures: Keep cooling water on containers to prevent pressure build-up, evacuate area if substantial fire, prevent discharge into drains and watercourses
Special Considerations: Chemical may decompose under intense heat forming hazardous byproducts
Byproducts: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phenolic compounds possible
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust, use proper gloves, safety glasses, protective clothing, ensure good ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, ground and surface waters
Containment: Collect spilled material using inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite), transfer to suitable container for disposal
Cleanup Methods: Avoid dry sweeping; dampen with water if possible to reduce dust, clean spill area with plenty of water
