- Exposure Hazards: High temperatures may liberale toxic or corrosive gases . Do not breathe smoke or vapours.
- Protective equipment and precaution for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Environmental PrecautIons: Knock down vapour cloud with spray of water or other appropriate solution. Contain any spilt with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams. May require excavation of contaminated soil. Do not discharge into drains or the environment.
