Contain leak or spill with sand, clay or absorbents. Recover liquid for recycle ordisposal. Do not allow spills into sewers or surface waters. Place absorbents, waste
products and contaminated soil into containers for disposal.
Emergency responders should wear eye protection and impervious gloves. An
approved air-purifying respirator should be worn if dust or mist is present. See
Section 8.

Material will not burn in a fire. Containers can build pressure if exposed to heat orfire.
All are acceptable. Cool container with water spray.
Wear standard full firefighter turn-out gear (full bunker gear) and respiratory
protection (SCBA).
None known.

Accidental Release Measures
Leaks and Spills:

7.

Give large quantities of water. Consult medical professional.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear person’s airway and give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified medical personnel may
administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye wash station.
Tin oxide (stannic oxide) has a very low order of toxicity. Colloidal tin oxide has
been used as a hepatolienographic agent by intra-venous injection in rabbits anddogs without reaction or obvious harm, see The American Journal ofRoentgenology, Radium Ther-apy and Nuclear Medicine, Vol. LXXVII, No. 1, January,
1957,“A New Hepatolienographic Agent: Tin Oxide”, Harry W. Fischer, M.D. For a general
overview see Toxicological Profile for Tin, U.S. Department of Health and HumanServices; PB93-110864.
