[Fire Fighting]

Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Extinguishing agents: water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide. Do not allow water runoff to enter sewers or waterways.
[Fire Potential]

Combustible solid.
[Ingestion]

Do NOT induce vomiting. Allow the victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water, and seek medical advice.
[Inhalation]

Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately.
[Skin]

Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
[Eyes]

First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
[Storage]

Tightly closed containers. Keep away from heat and water and from combustible organic or other readily oxidizable material.
[Handling]

All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.
[Inhalation]

Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Can be a route of absorption by the body with symptoms like ingestion.
[Skin]

Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May be absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects.
[Eyes]

Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
[Ingestion]

Toxic. Harmful if swallowed. Can cause formation of methemoglobin, resulting in cyanosis (blue lips), headaches, dizziness and collapse. Exposure to high concentrations may cause breathing trouble, a slow pulse, fall in blood pressure, convulsions and even death.
[Hazards]

When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors, and sewers explosion hazards.

[Personal Protection]

Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible.
[Respirators]

For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
[Exposure Effects]

Chronic exposure may damage the liver and kidneys.
