First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Symptoms: cough or other symptoms
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Symptoms: irritation
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical aid.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container.
