Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically and provide supportive care. Monitor for complications due to sensitization.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes of chlorinated and nitrogenous compounds, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: May produce irritating or toxic gases upon heating or combustion.
Special Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighters: Wear full fire-fighting turn-out gear and self-contained breathing apparatus. Isolate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Firefighting Instructions: Prevent runoff from entering drains or watercourses. Keep containers cool with water spray.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, lab coat, and suitable respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering soil, ditches, sewers or waterways. Notify relevant environmental authorities if contamination occurs.
Containment and Cleanup: Absorb spill with inert material such as sand, vermiculite or earth. Collect and place into appropriate chemical waste containers for disposal. Ventilate the area.
Decontamination: Clean spill area with soap and water after material removal.
Additional Advice: Restrict access until cleanup completed.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated chemical hoods or controlled environments. Wear compatible gloves and eye protection. Avoid direct contact and inhalation of fumes or vapors. Practice good hygiene after use.
