First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Blow nose to evacuate dust.
Symptoms: Dryness of the nasal passage and lung congestion, coughing, general throat irritation, irritation to the respiratory system.
Remove clothing and wash thoroughly before use. Wash affected skin with soap and water.
Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.
Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists (inhalation, skin, eye). Get medical attention (ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam or waterspray. As appropriate for surrounding fire.
None.
Non-flammable, Non-combustible, Not explosive.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
Fire fighters should wear complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid generation of dust. Do not breathe dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact.
