Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, prevent inhalation of dust or fumes
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unprotected personnel, ventilate area, use fully-sealed protective wear
Environmental Precautions: Avoid entry into sewers, soil, waterways; alert local authorities if large spills occur
Containment: Scoop up solid material, sweep up without creating dust, place in suitable closed container
Cleanup: Clean residue with damp absorbent material, ventilate afterward

Handling and Storage

Handling: Prevent skin and eye contact, avoid inhalation of dust or vapors, use in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink during use
Storage Requirements: Store securely in tightly closed containers, keep cool and dry, avoid exposure to sunlight, separate from acids and oxidizers, follow local regulatory storage guidelines
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, strong acids
Safe Transfer: Transfer in controlled areas with adequate ventilation and spill protection

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
