INGESTION: Rinse with water and give 1 glass of water or milk to drink. Do not inudce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms develop.
MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS, ACUTE AND DELAYED:
May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Harmful if swallowed.
INDICATION OF
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION AND
SPECIAL TREATMENT,
IF NEEDED:
Immediate medical attention should not be required. Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE (AND UNSUITABLE) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Material is not flammable. Use extinguishing media appropriate for material in surrounding fire.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: Thermal decomposition will generate toxic and corrosive ammonia gas and oxides of nitrogen.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTING: Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against any release of toxic and/or irritating fumes. Skin and eye protection should also be provided. Use water-spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool, and to knock down vapors and gases.
