medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide may be used.

Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may contain oxides of carbon and

nitrogen together with hydrogen chloride gas and some soot.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear full protective clothing (see 2.3.1). Avoid dust

formation. Sweep up spill and transfer to labelled

containers and dispose of by incineration in accordance with

local regulations. Wash spill site with plenty of water. Do

not allow washings to enter water supplies.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protective arm-

length gloves (eg. 14 inch PVC gauntlets), paper suits,

safety glasses (BS2092) and a dust mask should be worn.

Scientific personnel handling the substance should use air

hoods at all times when they are in the production area.

Keep personal exposure below 10 mg m-3 8-hour TWA for total

inhalable dust and 5 mg m-3 8-hour TWA for total respirable

dust. Where dust generation cannot be avoided, provide and

use local exhaust ventilation. Where local exhaust

ventilation is impracticable, wear an approved face mask.

Storage: Store in tightly closed, polyethylene lined containers in a
