First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Immediate Medical Attention
Persons developing serious hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions must receive immediate medical attention.
Medical Treatment
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water. Foam. Dry chemical or CO2. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
None known.
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. As with all fires, evacuate personnel to a safe area. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Firefighter Protection
Wear suitable protective equipment. Firefighters should use self-contained breathing equipment and protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
As a general rule, when handling USP materials, avoid all contact and inhalation of dust, mists, and/or vapors associated with the material. Clean equipment and work surfaces with suitable detergent or solvent after use. After removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly. Select and use containment devices and personal protective equipment based on a risk assessment of material potency and exposure potential.
Store in tight container. This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure product integrity.
After removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No open handling. For laboratory operations, conduct powder handling operations in an isolator or equivalent. Put powder into solution or a tightly capped container prior to removal from containment. Isolator should be equipped with bag out ports or transfer chamber. Control exposures to below the occupational exposure level (if available). Select and use containment devices and personal protective equipment based on a risk assessment of exposure potential. Cover all containers for solutions and slurries while being transferred.
Wear double gloves. Wear nitrile or other impervious gloves if skin contact is possible. When the material is dissolved or suspended in an organic solvent, wear gloves that provide protection against the solvent.
Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical splash goggles, or full face shield, if necessary. Base the choice of protection on the job activity and potential for contact with eyes or face. An emergency eye wash station should be available.
Use a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with HEPA filters, disposable outerware and head cover for spill cleanup. Choose respiratory protection appropriate to the task and the level of existing engineering controls.
Wear disposable laboratory coat and disposable sleeve covers appropriate to the task, two pairs of gloves, and safety glasses with side shields. Base the choice of skin protection on the job activity, potential for skin contact and solvents and reagents in use.
