Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide can smother burning material
Unsuitable Media: Avoid high-pressure water stream to prevent spread of particles
Hazardous Combustion Products: Releases oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and potentially toxic organic vapors
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, and goggles
Special Procedures: Contain runoff to avoid environmental contamination, cool adjacent containers in fire zone

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection: Use suitable respirator, chemical safety goggles, heavy-duty gloves, and suitable coveralls
Spill Response: Prevent spreading, scoop or sweep up solids, avoid creating airborne dust, place in labelled container for disposal
Cleaning Method: Wash contaminated area with water and mild detergent after removing solid material, ventilate area thoroughly before re-entry
Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, natural waterways, or soil; notify environmental authority in case of significant release

Handling and Storage

Handling: Work in a ventilated zone, use containment trays, do not eat or drink in work area, wash hands before breaks and after work
Storage: Keep tightly closed in original labeled packaging, store in cool, dry, well-ventilated space, segregated from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizers, and moisture
Specific Practices: Limit exposure to air and light to preserve stability, regularly check for container leakage or contamination

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established by OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH for this compound
Engineering Controls: Utilize fume hood or local exhaust ventilation to limit exposure
