Explosion Risk: Dust clouds may theoretically explode, practical risk is low
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or CO₂
Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Hazardous Combustion Products: Fumes may emit copper oxides, nitrogen oxides when exposed to fire
Protective Measures: Prevent runoff into drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, ventilate area, wear respiratory protection and disposable gloves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from reaching surface water, soils, storm drains
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep or vacuum up bulk solid, use non-sparking tools, collect in labeled, sealed containers
Disposal: Dispose residue via licensed chemical waste contractor
Reporting: Notify local authorities if large quantities released outside containment
Safe Handling: Avoid generating dust, use proper protective equipment, ensure adequate ventilation
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, cool dry area, avoid direct sunlight, keep away from acids and foodstuffs
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, reducing agents may trigger unwanted reactions
Packing Materials: Use corrosion-proof, sealed packaging
Exposure Limits: OSHA/ACGIH recommend 1 mg/m³ (as copper dust and mists, time-weighted average)
Engineering Controls: Use ventilation systems, local exhaust at points of dust generation
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), goggles, dust mask or NIOSH-approved particulate respirator, protective clothing

Conditions to Avoid: Avoid heat, humidity, open flames, strong acids
Incompatible Materials: Reducing agents, mineral acids, strong oxidizers
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) estimated at 1200–2500 mg/kg for copper compounds
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Symptoms: Inhalation may cause irritation, coughing, headache; ingestion can lead to gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting
Long-Term Effects: Chronic exposure may affect liver and kidneys, skin may show allergic reactions upon frequent contact
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, OSHA, or NTP
Other Effects: No mutagenicity, teratogenicity shown in current studies
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Copper is very toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates
Persistence and Degradability: Amino acid chelates degrade; copper ions persist and bind to sediments
Bioaccumulation: Copper can accumulate in aquatic organisms, possible long-term risk in sensitive environments
Mobility in Soil: Copper binds strongly to soil particles and organic matter
Environmental Fate: Cumulative effect in water bodies from repeated use or accidental spills
Waste Disposal: Non-recyclable waste must enter a licensed hazardous waste collection system
Disposal Instructions: Follow all local, regional, national regulations regarding hazardous waste
