SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out ofdangerous area.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult aphysician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse
mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2)
and/or in section 11.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No data available.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon
dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very large quantities(flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be ineffective.
Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.
Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides. In combustion, may emit toxic fumes.
2Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters:
Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes andself-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapours
accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
For personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or bywet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section
13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections
For disposal see section 13.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:
Use in a chemical fume hood, with air supplied by an independent system. Avoid
inhalation, contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid the formation of dust and aerosols.
Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged orrepeated exposure.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep container tightly
sealed until ready for use.
Specific end uses:
Use in a laboratory fume hood where possible. Refer to employer's COSHH risk
assessment.
