Advice: Cool containers with water, prevent fire-fighting water runoff from entering drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to soil, drains, or watercourses to minimize environmental contamination
Spill Response: Sweep up spilled substance, collect in suitable containers for disposal, ventilate area, wash contaminated area with water and detergent
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid inhalation and skin or eye contact, prevent dust formation, never eat, drink, or smoke while handling chemicals
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space, shielded from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition, segregate from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents and strong acids
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits for this compound established by OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH
Engineering Controls: Work with adequate local exhaust ventilation, use fume hoods for handling powders
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, laboratory coat, dust mask or particulate respirator (NIOSH approved), wash hands after handling
