Carbon oxides

Specific extinguishing methods:

Special protective equipment
for fire-fighters:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to doso.
Evacuate area.
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use personal protective equipment.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protec- :tive equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment.
Follow safe handling advice (see section 7) and personal
protective equipment recommendations (see section 8).

Environmental precautions:

Avoid release to the environment.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.

Methods and materials forcontainment and cleaning up:

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitablecontainer for disposal.
Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces

Minimize open handling.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended tomaintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where
concentrations are above recommended limits or are
unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn.
Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) anduse NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators against exposure to any
hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are unknown, or any othercircumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Hand protection
Material:

Chemical-resistant gloves

Remarks
Eye protection::

Skin and body protection:

Hygiene measures:

Consider double gloving.
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
If the work environment or activity involves dusty conditions,mists or aerosols, wear the appropriate goggles.
Wear a faceshield or other full face protection if there is apotential for direct contact to the face with dusts, mists, oraerosols.
Work uniform or laboratory coat.
Additional body garments should be used based upon thetask being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets,
disposable suits) to avoid exposed skin surfaces.
Use appropriate degowning techniques to remove potentiallycontaminated clothing.
If exposure to chemical is likely during typical use, provide
eye flushing systems and safety showers close to theworking place.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of theworkplace.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
The effective operation of a facility should include review ofengineering controls, proper personal protective equipment,
appropriate degowning and decontamination procedures,industrial hygiene monitoring, medical surveillance and theuse of administrative controls.
