First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. (P340)
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. (P360)
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. (P338) A petroleum-based ophthalmic ointment may be applied to the eye to relieve the irritating effects of PCBs.
Do NOT induce vomiting or give any oily laxatives.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical assistance for all cases of overexposure.
Medical Treatment
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Hot PCBs may cause thermal burns. If large amounts are ingested, gastric lavage is suggested.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use any extinguishing media suitable for adjacent material.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated after use.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate the area of all non-essential personnel. Stop leak if you can do so without risk.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not breathe dust. (P260). Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. (P262). Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. This product should only be used by persons trained in the safe handling of hazardous chemicals. (P202).
Store in a tightly closed container. (P404). Store at controlled room temperature. "Empty" containers retain product residue and can be very dangerous.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact. (P280) (Nitrile or equivalent)
Use eye protection tested and approved under the appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), or a risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised. Use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN14387) respirator cartridges in absence of proper environmental control. Always use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Impervious protective clothing should be worn to prevent skin contact.
