Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. Contact medical help if symptoms develop.
Skin Contact: Wash contact area with water and mild soap. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek professional medical advice if irritation occurs.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. Drink water. Medical attention may be necessary if a large amount has been swallowed or if symptoms arise.
Suitability of Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or foam. Water spray may be used to cool structures.
Specific Hazards: Product is not known to be flammable under normal conditions. Decomposition in fire can yield irritating fumes, including oxides of carbon and magnesium.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Special Procedures: Prevent runoff from entering water systems. Remove containers from the area if safe to do so.
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. Ventilate area if possible.
Spill Response: Sweep up material carefully to avoid creating airborne dust. Use non-sparking tools. Collect in a properly labeled and sealed container for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent significant quantities from entering water sources or soil.
Cleaning Methods: Wash area with water after material removal. Wear gloves and eye protection during cleanup.
Handling Instructions: Minimize dust formation. Handle with care in well-ventilated places. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during handling.
Protective Measures: Wear gloves, goggles, and a protective mask if handling large amounts.
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly sealed containers. Keep in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from moisture and incompatible substances.
Incompatibilities: Strong acids and oxidizing agents.
Special Storage Needs: Use original packaging if possible. Protect from physical damage.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation when handling powder. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and dust masks. Laboratory coats or aprons recommended for frequent users.
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established for this compound.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing before entering eating areas.

Polymerization: Does not occur.
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact.
Acute Effects: May cause mild irritation to eyes, respiratory system, and skin.
Chronic Effects: No long-term health effects known for typical exposures.
LD50/LC50: Specific data not determined; magnesium compounds generally exhibit low toxicity.
Sensitization: Not expected to cause sensitization.
Carcinogenicity: Classified as non-carcinogenic by regulatory agencies.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not known to cause reproductive harm based on available data.
Ecotoxicity: No evidence of significant toxicity to aquatic life at usual concentrations.
Persistence and Degradability: Product is expected to dissolve and dissociate in the environment.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Limited potential; magnesium ions are naturally present in the environment.
Mobility in Soil: Compound may migrate in water due to solubility.
Additional Notes: Consider non-point source pollution control in large spills.
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of according to local, regional, and national regulations. Do not release into drains or the environment.
Product Disposal: Small amounts can be diluted with water and disposed as inert waste if permitted.
Packaging Disposal: Rinse containers before recycling or disposing. Follow local guidelines.
