First Aid: Skin
For skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
First Aid: Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice -- Do not induce vomiting.
First Aid: Inhalation
Remove affected person immediately to fresh air. If respiratory irritation occurs, if breathing becomes difficult, or if other symptoms develop, seek medical attention immediately.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
While unlikely to occur due to insoluble nature of material, the symptoms of acute rare earth toxicity include spontaneous defecation, writhing, ataxia, labored respiration, sedation, hypotension, and cardiovascular failure.
Fire-fighting measures
General Fire Hazards
This material will not burn.
Hazardous Combustion Products
None expected.
Extinguishing Media
Use methods for the surrounding fire.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Accidental release measures
Containment Procedures
Minimize generation of dusts.
Clean-Up Procedures
Treat as nuisance dust. Wear respiratory protection during cleanup. Sweep up or vacuum material and place in appropriate container for disposal. Rinse spill area with water.
