First-aid measures
General notes: Seek medical attention if feel unwell. Delayed effects can be expected after exposure. Show this data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Following inhalation: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Give water to drink. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Following skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water at least for 20 minutes. Contaminated clothing and footwear should be laundered before reuse.
Following eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution at least for 20 minutes.
Following ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouse with water. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call the ambulance or provide medical attention immediately.
Self-protection of the firs aider: Attention! Making the "mouth to mouth" artificial respiration may be dangerous. Make a contactless artificial respiration.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Nausea, vomiting, anorexia, headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, intestinal disorders. In severe cases, death may occur.
The substance may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition. Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Swallowing large amount may cause central nervous system depression.
Chronic effects:
Acute and chronic effects on the lungs are possible (diffuse interstitial pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis or both). Suspected of causing genetic defects. Chronic effects may be delayed.

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or chemical foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Thermal decomposition can lead to release of acrid smoke or irritating gases and vapours. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen dioxides (NOx) and other pyrolysis products typical for burning organic material. May emit corrosive fumes.
Advice for fire fighters: Fire fighter’s clothing conforming to European standard EN469 provides a basic level of protection for chemical incidents and includes helmets, protective boots and gloves. Clothing not conforming to EN469 may not be suitable in any chemical incident.
Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.

For non-emergency personnel
Protective equipment: Use personal protective equipment.
Emergency procedures:
For emergency responders: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Environmental precautions – do not let product enter drains and environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For containment: Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact by using protective equipment. In case of major spills alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or watercourses.
For cleaning up: Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal. Recover product wherever possible. Wash area down with large amounts of water. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.

Handling and storage
Measures to prevent fire: Avoid contact with incompatible materials, heat, direct sunlight, water and moisture. Keep away from sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof (electrical/ventilating/lighting) equipment. Ground and bond container and receiving equipment.
Measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation: Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked. Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
Measures to protect the environment: Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Avoid physical damage to containers.
Advice on general occupational hygiene: Use good occupational work practice. Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures and storage conditions: Store in containers with a tight-fitting and sealable cover. Protect from moisture and light. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Check that all containers are clearly labelled. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
Packing materials: For small quantities - dark glass by polyethylene cover. For large quantities - tightly closed polyethylene jar.
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels: For quality assurance store in temperature below 25 °C in tightly closed container.
Further information on storage conditions: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls: Avoid high temperatures, use in areas with adequate ventilation. Storage containers keep tightly closed. Prevent dust formation and accumulation in the workplace. Protect from moisture.
Appropriate engineering controls – Choose the working organization, technology and equipment in order to prevent or minimize any exposure.
Organisational measures to prevent exposure: only trained and instructed staff may work with the substance.
Technical measures to prevent exposure: Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction. Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent recirculation of particulates and accumulation in the workplace.
Individual protection equipment:
Eye/face protection – For laboratory, larger scale or bulk handling or where regular exposure in an occupational setting occurs - chemical goggles.
Full-face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. DO NOT wear contact lenses.
Skin protection – Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
Hand protection: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 and US F739. Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include such as frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness and dexterity.
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Glove material – natural rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene or PVC.
Other skin protection: Barrier cream, skin-cleansing cream, eye wash unit.
8.2.2.3. Respiratory protection – Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a dust mask type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures. The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option). Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program. Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
8.2.2.4. Thermal hazards – None.
