Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice: Avoid inhalation of combustion products, evacuate area if risk of explosion spreads
Unusual Fire Hazards: Dust formation may cause explosive mixture in air, take steps to prevent buildup in confined spaces
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection, and dust mask, avoid dust inhalation and contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or waterways; notify relevant authorities if contamination occurs
Methods for Cleanup: Contain spill, sweep up using non-sparking tools and place in a tightly sealed container for disposal, ventilate area, wash spill location with plenty of water after cleanup
Decontamination: Avoid contact with incompatible materials, use damp cloth to reduce dust spread
Safe Handling: Handle in a chemical fume hood, use care to avoid spills, avoid dust generation and inhalation, wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink in laboratory areas
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from light, moisture, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizers
Incompatible Products: Avoid contact with water, strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, alkali metals
Transfer Precautions: Prevent static discharge, ground containers, use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for this compound; consider general nuisance dust limits (e.g., OSHA PEL 15 mg/m3 total dust)
Engineering Controls: Work only in well-ventilated area, preferably chemical fume hood, ensure local exhaust ventilation to capture dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat, dust mask or particulate respirator (NIOSH-approved, P100), closed-toe shoes
Hygiene Measures: Change contaminated clothing, wash hands and face before breaks and at end of work

Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to air, heat, moisture, light, incompatible chemicals
Polymerization: Not known to occur
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin; data on exact LD50 is limited, but compounds of copper and iodine both show moderate oral toxicity in mammals
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation, may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes severe eye irritation and possible long-term damage
Respiratory Sensitization: May cause coughing, respiratory discomfort on inhaling dust
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, IARC, NTP
Mutagenicity/Teratogenicity: Not tested, no data indicating genetic or reproductive toxicity
Other Effects: Chronic exposure to copper salts linked to gastrointestinal, liver and kidney impacts, chronic exposure to iodide linked to thyroid disturbances
Aquatic Toxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms including fish and invertebrates, may cause long-term effects in aquatic environment
Persistence and Degradability: Limited biodegradability, probable persistence in soil and water
Bioaccumulation Potential: Likely to accumulate in aquatic organisms due to copper and iodide content
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile, may migrate in water-logged soils
Other Adverse Effects: Release of copper and iodide compounds may disrupt microbial activity and harm sensitive species in waterways
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose in accordance with national and local environmental regulations, do not flush into drains, avoid contamination of water sources, treat as hazardous chemical waste
Packaging Disposal: Containers should be triple rinsed, punctured and sent to certified hazardous waste facility
Incineration: Only in chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber, avoid open burning
Additional Advice: Contact approved waste disposal contractor for bulk or lab-scale disposal
