| [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. Substance is noncombustible. May form very sensitive, explosive metallic compounds. Extinguishing media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. | |
| [Fire Potential] Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | |
| [Eyes] Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Storage] Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. | |
| [Inhalation] Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. | |
| [Skin] Causes skin irritation. | |
| [Eyes] Causes eye irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be harmful if swallowed. | |
| [Hazards] Irritating hydrogen iodide or iodine vapors may form in fire. | |
