First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air; seek medical attention for persistent symptoms
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation continues, consult a healthcare provider
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of water and mild soap; remove contaminated clothing
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly; drink water to dilute; seek medical help if feeling unwell

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam; avoid high-pressure water jets
Unusual Fire Hazards: Fine dust dispersed in air could ignite; avoid dust clouds near ignition sources
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use appropriate respirator and gloves to avoid inhaling dust and skin contact
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching drains or open waterways
Clean-up Methods: Sweep up spillage for disposal; use damp methods to minimize dust formation; ventilate area if indoors

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and suitable respirator in dusty conditions; avoid generating airborne dust; practice good hygiene
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location; keep containers tightly closed and out of direct sunlight; segregate from strong oxidizing agents

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation; process enclosures for powder handling
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use dust-resistant goggles, lightweight gloves, dust mask or respirator for airborne particles, lab coat or other protective clothing
