Special Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Cool containers with water, isolate hazard area, prevent runoff into sewers and waterways
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, avoid inhalation and skin contact, wear appropriate protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, respirator for vapor or fine dust
Spill Response: Absorb liquid with inert absorbent such as sand or vermiculite; sweep up solid spills using non-sparking tools
Disposal: Place contaminated materials in a suitable sealed container for waste disposal; clean spill area thoroughly
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, watercourses, soil; notify authorities if significant spill occurs
Handling Requirements: Handle in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; use chemical fume hood for large quantities
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed container, preferably under inert gas atmosphere or desiccator

Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, moisture, exposure to strong acids or bases
Acute Toxicity: Laboratory data show moderate oral toxicity, with LD50 (rat, oral) estimated between 300–2000 mg/kg
Skin Contact: Can cause redness and irritation; prolonged exposure may lead to dermatitis
Eye Contact: Irritation and possible corneal injury with direct exposure
Inhalation: Vapors or mists may cause respiratory tract irritation, cough, or headache
