Section
4: First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact:Check for and
remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical
attention if irritation occurs.
Skin
Contact:Wash with soap and
water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if
irritation develops. Cold water may be used.
Serious
Skin Contact: Not
available.
Inhalation:If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:Do
NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material
are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Fine
dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presences of an
ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Section
6: Accidental Release Measures
Small
Spill:Use appropriate
tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish
cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according
to local and regional authority requirements.
Large
Spill:Use a shovel to put
the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the
sanitary system.
Section
