First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel.
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing before reuse.
Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical attention (inhalation). Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel (eye contact). Get medical attention if symptoms occur (skin contact). Get medical attention (ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water, or dry chemical spray.
A solid water stream may be inefficient.
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand (NIOSH approved or equivalent), and full protective gear to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid raising and breathing dust, and provide adequate ventilation.
Take steps to avoid release into the environment, if safe to do so.
Contain spill and collect, as appropriate. Transfer to a chemical waste container for disposal in accordance with local regulations.
