| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. | |
| [Ingestion] Administer charcoal as a slurry (240 ml water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents. | |
| [Inhalation] If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention. | |
| [Skin] Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician should examine the area if irritation or pain persists. Dermatitis - is usually controlled by removal of the offending agent, but may occasionally require a steroid cream. | |
| [Eyes] If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention. | |
| [Storage] Keep in a cool, dry location in a sealed container. | |
| [Handling] No special requirements. Good housekeeping dictates that containers should be kept closed when not in use to minimize contamination. Keep away from acids. | |
| [Inhalation] Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be anaesthetic or narcotic effects. | |
| [Skin] Dermatitis has been reported by several authors due to garments containing rubber contaminated with mbt or contact with oil containing mbt. The compound itself is not highly irritating. | |
| [Eyes] May cause slight transient eye irritation due to alkaline nature of material. | |
| [Ingestion] Amounts swallowed incidentally are not likely to cause injury apart from mild alkaline effects. | |
| [Personal Protection] Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Whre chemical resistant gloves. To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots. | |
| [Respirators] Respiratory protection is not generally required. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Seizures have been reported in animals given 335 mg/kg. | |
