First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with mild soap and water. If irritation continues, get medical help.
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek emergency medical care.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and never induce vomiting. Call a poison center or physician. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Self-protection for First Aid Responders: Use gloves, goggles, and if available, a dust mask. Avoid direct exposure.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use CO2, dry chemical, foam, or water spray. Avoid direct water jets.
Specific Hazards from Combustion: Thermal decomposition produces hazardous gases such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, which pose inhalation risks.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Precautions: Fight fire from a safe distance or protected location, cool exposed containers with water mist, keep unnecessary personnel away

Accidental Release Measures

Spill Response: Isolate the area and ensure proper ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and a lab coat. Collect spilled material with a suitable absorbent (such as inert dry sand) and transfer to a chemical waste container.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into sewers, surface water, or soil. Notify relevant authorities if chemical enters the environment.
Cleaning Method: After removal, wipe the contaminated area with water and mild detergent. Dispose of waste safely.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle only in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed, labeled container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible substances such as oxidizers and acids. Protect from light and moisture. Maintain temperature stability between 15°C and 25°C. Keep out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for this specific compound. Minimize exposure as a precaution.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood, or other engineering controls to reduce airborne concentrations.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear laboratory nitrile gloves, tightly fitting safety goggles, lab coat, and, if necessary, a properly fitted respirator.
General Hygiene Measures: Always wash hands after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eye contact
Acute Effects: Ingestion or skin absorption causes nausea, headache, dizziness, skin and eye irritation
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis or aggravate pre-existing skin conditions
Acute Toxicity: No comprehensive toxicological data available; structurally related compounds show low to moderate oral toxicity in rodents
Carcinogenicity: No data indicating carcinogenic potential
Mutagenicity and Reproductive Toxicity: Data not available

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Data not available for aquatic or terrestrial environments, but structurally similar compounds may cause mild, localized toxicity
Persistence and Degradability: Not rapidly biodegradable; disposal must consider possible persistence in the environment
Bioaccumulation: No evidence of significant bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: Likely limited mobility due to salt form; depends on environmental conditions
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to environment to prevent possible long-term effects

Disposal Considerations

Safe Disposal Methods: Collect and place in a suitable, labeled waste container. Dispose of through a licensed chemical waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers must be tripled rinsed and handled as chemical waste.
Legal Requirements: Follow all federal, state, and local environmental regulations governing disposal of chemical substances.
Best Practices: Never dispose through drains or regular waste streams
