First-aid measures
- Inhalation : Allow the victim to rest. Place the victim in semi-seated position. Assure fresh air breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty and/or other complaints appear.
- Skin contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, for at least 5 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue to flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Eventually wash skin with mild soap and water. Obtain medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops.
- Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.
- Ingestion : DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse mouth. If swallowed, give 1 pint of water if victim completely conscious/alert. Obtain medical attention.
- Note to physician : Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote known.

Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions : Avoid dust production. Keep public away from danger area. See also section 8 of the SDS: Exposure controls/personal protection.
- Environmental precautions : Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
- After spillage and/or leakage : Clean up any spills as soon as possible, using an absorbent material to collect it (sand/sawdust). Dilute residues and flush. Sweep or shovel spills into appropriate container for disposal.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards, as
mentioned in section 2.3.00.
Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material
(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to
waste containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original substance containers.
Clean the spillage area with water.
Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage
- General : Avoid dispersion as a dust cloud.
- Prevention : Handle the product in closed equipment and if possible under an inert atmosphere. Sufficient local or general ventilation. Explosion proof electrical equipment . Earth the equipment and take enough time to remove the electrostatic charges. Do not use compressed air to handle the product.
- Technical protective measures : Ignition of a flammable product - air mixture by static discharge is possible Proper grounding procedures to avoidstatic electricity should be followed. Use only non sparking tools.
- Storage : May be stored at ambient temperature. Protect from low temperatures. Protect from high temperature. Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use. Eliminate every possible source of ignition. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
- Handling : Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid all unnecessary exposure. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Do not breathe dust. Ensure prompt removal from eyes, skin and clothing. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.

Exposure controls / personal protection
- Respiratory protection : Wear full face dust mask (cfr. EN 136) with P3-dust cannister (cfr. EN 143) for protection against dust.
- Hand protection : Wear suitable gloves in latex, nitrile or neoprene (Category 3, Class 3) resistant to chemical penetration (cfr. EN 374).
- Skin protection : Wear a coverall type 5, specific for manipulation of solids (cfr. ISO 13982-1).
- Eye protection : See respiratory protection.
- Ingestion : When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Industrial hygiene : Local exhaust is recommended where dust may occur. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from
minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically or technically feasible, and such waste material will be
disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be
possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated
material for subsequent use.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that this substance is harmful to human health by acute oral toxicity.
No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the hazardous health properties.
The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling and storage.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local regulations.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
nitrogen oxides) could be formed.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment. However, adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be unlikely.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.
