POTASSIUM BICARBONATE

Move affected person to fresh air at once. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Dust in high concentrations may irritate the respiratory system.

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Prolonged contact may cause dryness of the skin.

Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Particles in the eyes may cause irritation and smarting.

Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention.

Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above an acceptable level. Avoid discharge into water courses or onto the ground. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be reported immediately to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner or collect with a shovel and broom, or similar. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. Label the containers containing waste and contaminated materials and remove from the area as soon as possible.
