Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Cover with soda ash or sodium bicarbonate and place in a closed container for disposal.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse. Isolate, vent, drain, wash and purge systems or equipment before maintenance or repair. Remove all ignition sources. Check atmosphere for explosiveness and oxygen deficiencies. Use adequate personal protective equipment. Comply with regulations governing confined space entry. Storage:Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat and incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling dust.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or other recognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training, inspection and maintenance of the personal protective equipment. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited to airborne concentrations that are typically within 10 times the exposure limit. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHAs 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirators use. SKIN AND HAND PROTECTION: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent contact with skin. EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR 1910.133, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard EN 166. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Strong reducing agents. Bases. Possible Decomposition Product: Carbon monoxide.
