                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES **** 
 
     Eyes: 
          In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 
          at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid. 
     Skin: 
          In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove 
          contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation 
          develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by

          person. Get medical aid. 
     Inhalation: 
          If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial 
          respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 
     Notes to Physician: 
          Treat symptomatically and supportively. 
 
                  **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: 
          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in 
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full 
          protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases 
          may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. 
 
                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated 
                          in Section 8. 
     Spills/Leaks: 
          Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), 
          then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and 
          ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, 
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide 
          ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid 
          breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, 
          and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and 
          inhalation. 
     Storage: 
          Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. 
 
          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION **** 
 
     Engineering Controls: 
          Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped 
          with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
