General Guidance: Provide symptomatic and supportive care, show the MSDS to responders where possible
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Specific Hazards: Combustible at high temperatures, releases carbon oxides and irritating fumes as decomposition products
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective clothing, use self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Procedures: Cool containers exposed to fire with water spray, remove them from the fire area if safe
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhaling dust, wear suitable respiratory protection, gloves, and eye protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Methods for Cleanup: Use non-sparking tools, collect spillage in a dry, clean container for proper disposal, ventilate the area, wash spill site after material pick-up is complete, minimize dust formation
Decontamination: Wash affected area with plenty of water, avoid contact with incompatible substances
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated locations, prevent dust formation, avoid breathing powder or vapors, keep away from food and beverages, refrain from eating or smoking in processing areas, use personal protective equipment
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, keep in a dry, cool, well-ventilated space away from oxidizing agents and sources of ignition, maintain product in original packaging to avoid contamination, label containers clearly and keep them upright, monitor temperature and humidity to reduce risks of degradation
Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established for succinic acid; recommended to minimize exposure to irritant dusts
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, mechanical general ventilation for fume extraction if dust is present
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust-resistant safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, suitable work clothing such as lab coats or aprons, respiratory protection like NIOSH-approved dust masks under heavy exposure
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling, launder contaminated clothing before reuse, avoid hand-to-mouth contact, keep workplace clean
