4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Dust irritates the respiratory system, and may cause coughing and difficulties in breathing. If
symptomatic, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact Contact with dust: Wash area with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Eye contact Dust in the eyes: Do not rub eyes. Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical
assistance.
Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Most important Dusts may irritate the respiratory tract, skin and eyes.

6. Accidental release measures


Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during
protective equipment and clean-up. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved
emergency procedures respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. For
personal protection, see Section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Sweep, shovel, or vacuum up spillage and collect in
containment and cleaning up suitable container for disposal. Vacuums used for this purpose should be equipped with HEPA
filters. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge to the aquatic environment.

7. Handling and storage


Precautions for safe handling Use work methods which minimize dust production. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid
inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. Wash hands after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Store away from
