Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water streams may spread spilled material
Hazardous Decomposition: Combustion may generate oxides of sulfur, nitrogen oxides, and toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective gear
Special Procedures: Evacuate area; cool adjacent containers with water spray to prevent rupture
Personal Precautions: Wear goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, long-sleeved lab coat; avoid breathing dust or vapor
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, sewers, or waterways
Spill Cleanup Methods: Contain spill with inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite); collect using non-sparking tools; transfer to a well-labeled container for disposal; ventilate affected area thoroughly
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas; avoid formation of dust; wash hands thoroughly after use; do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed original container in cool, dry, and well-ventilated area; keep away from heat, spark, and open flame sources; segregate from oxidizers and acids
Incompatibilities: Avoid contact with strong acids, strong oxidizers, and bases
Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits for this specific compound
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood for manipulations; ensure proper exhaust ventilation
Personal Protection: Nitrile or neoprene chemical-resistant gloves; laboratory safety goggles or face shield; lab coat or apron; approved respirator if ventilation is insufficient
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse; maintain eyewash and safety shower stations in work area

Skin and Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, swelling; damage possible with extended exposure
Chronic Exposure: No comprehensive studies on long-term exposure
Respiratory Effects: May cause irritation of mucous membranes and respiratory tract
Sensitization: Not classified as a sensitizer under current data, but direct contact should be avoided
Ecotoxicity: Data limited, potential moderate aquatic toxicity expected based on structure; do not release into environment
Persistence and Degradability: Slow degradation in natural waters; contains stable ionic structures
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low to moderate based on molecular size and water solubility
Mobility in Soil: Likely to migrate due to solubility, but adsorbs to some soil components
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid direct contact with watercourses; hazardous to aquatic organisms by analogy to similar compounds
