First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person outside to fresh air. Support breathing if necessary. Seek medical attention for symptoms.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Immediately rinse eyes with gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes, eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention for symptoms.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly irritating organic vapors.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear to avoid smoke inhalation.
Fire/Explosion Risk: Powdered product may be combustible in large dust clouds; monitor for airborne dust.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, gloves, eye protection. Ensure proper ventilation. Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Spill Cleanup Methods: Avoid creating dust; sweep up material and place it in designated waste containers. Wet-wipe area to minimize airborne particles. Dispose of sweepings per local, regional, and federal regulations.
Environmental Precautions: Do not release in drains or natural waterways. Notify authorities if large quantities enter water or soil.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Use recommended PPE, work in fume hood or with local exhaust if possible. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling.
Storage: Keep container tightly sealed and stored in cool, dry place away from sunlight. Preferably store below 30°C, humidity-controlled environment. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids or oxidizers.
Special Storage Compatibility: Do not store near sources of strong heat, oxidizing agents, and chemicals sensitive to organic dust.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set for hesperidin.
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation, local exhaust, or containment systems to minimize dust.
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved particulate respirator suggested if dust is generated.
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, long-sleeved clothing.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling, remove contaminated garments promptly.
