	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Nausea.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal cramps. Vomiting. Diarrhoea.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered labelled containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Harmful if swallowed May cause an allergic skin reaction May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Separated from food and feedstuffs, strong bases, amines, amides, acids and strong oxidizers. Store only in original container. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Cool. Dry. Keep in the dark. Keep in a well-ventilated room.
PACKAGING
Airtight. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood, nervous system, liver and thyroid. May cause an increase in cholinesterase activity. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction.
