Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin with soap and water
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; seek medical attention if irritation develops or symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; seek medical attention if unnecessarily large quantities have been ingested and symptoms appear
General Advice: Get medical attention if adverse symptoms persist after exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known for magnesium citrate specifically
Specific Hazards: Fine dust may form explosive mixtures with air under certain conditions
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear standard protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus
Hazardous Combustion Products: May form irritating or toxic fumes when exposed to fire
Personal Precautions: Avoid creating dust; use personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains or surface water to limit unnecessary contamination
Containment and Cleanup: Sweep up and collect the material for suitable disposal; ventilate area; wash spill site after removal; do not dry sweep to minimize airborne dust; use vacuum equipped with HEPA filter
Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas; minimize dust generation; wear appropriate personal protective equipment
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from incompatible substances such as strong acids; keep containers tightly closed when not in use; avoid sources of ignition
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific regulatory exposure limits established; maintain dust levels below OSHA nuisance dust limits
Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne concentrations low
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Eye protection (safety glasses or goggles), protective clothing as needed, gloves, dust mask or respiratory protection for high dust levels
