First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Symptoms: difficulty breathing
Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
Symptoms: irritated skin
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Symptoms: irritation
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention if irritation occurs (eye). Get medical attention if irritation develops (skin). Get medical attention immediately (inhalation). Get medical attention if symptoms appear (ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Substance can explode when wet and heated with magnesium.
Not applicable.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Large Spill: Poisonous solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
