Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known for plant-based extracts
Combustion Hazards: Thermal decomposition may produce carbon oxides and organic vapors
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear to avoid inhalation of fumes
Additional Information: Prevent runoff from entering waterways, fight fire from upwind position; dust may form explosive mixtures with air
Personal Precautions: Use gloves and eye protection, avoid breathing dust, ventilate area, isolate spill location
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or surface water, use barriers to avoid spread
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep up powder or soak up liquid with inert absorbent, place in suitable, properly labeled container, wash spill site after material pickup
Reference to Other Sections: Refer to exposure controls, disposal considerations, and local regulations for disposal
Safe Handling: Minimize generation and accumulation of dust, avoid contact with eyes and skin, wash hands after use, avoid inhalation
Technical Measures: Use adequate ventilation, avoid sources of ignition, ground equipment as dust may create static discharge
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight, keep container tightly closed, protect from moisture
Incompatible Materials: Avoid storage with strong oxidizing agents or acids
Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established for alfalfa extract, use general particulate limits (e.g., OSHA PEL for nuisance dust: 15 mg/m3 total, 5 mg/m3 respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended where dust is generated
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles, gloves, dust respirator (N95 or equivalent) for sensitive individuals or high-exposure tasks, lab coat or work clothing
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking; remove contaminated clothing and wash after work
Environmental Exposure Controls: Follow environmental protection measures to prevent release into drains
