First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR
IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT REST. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY AND
SUPPORTIVELY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: IT IS
UNLIKELY THAT EMERGENCY TREATMENT WILL BE REQUIRED. IF ADVERSE
EFFECTS OCCUR, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN CASE OF FROSTBITE, WARM
AFFECTED SKIN IN WARM WATER AT A TEM PERATURE OF 107F. IF WARM

===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE. FOR LARGER FIRES:
USE WATER SPRAY, FOG OR STANDARD FOAM, (1990 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.5).
Fire Fighting Procedures:MOVE CONTAINER FROM AREA. STAY CLEAR OF TANK
ENDS. COOL CONTAINERS WITH FLOODING AMOUNT OF WATER UNTIL WELL
AFTER FIRE IS OUT; APPLY FROM AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. FOR MASSIVE FIRE,
USE UNMANNED HOSE HOLDER OR MONITOR NOZZLES, ELSE WITHDRAW AND LET
FIRE BURN. (1990 EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.5 GUIDE
PAGE 14).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NEGLIGIBLE FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO
HEAT OR FLAME. OXIDIZERS DECOMPOSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HEATED, TO
YIELD OXYGEN OR OTHER GASES THAT WILL INCREASE THE BURNING RATE OF
COMBUSTIBLE MATTER. CONTACT WIT H EASILY OXIDIZABLE, ORGANIC, OR
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN IGNITION, VIOLENT
COMBUSTION OR EXPLOSION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:KEEP COMBUSTIBLES (WOOD, PAPER, OIL, ETC.)
AWAY FROM HAZARD AREA. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT RISK.
ISOLATE AREA UNTIL GAS HAS DISPERSED. KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY;
ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND D ENY ENTRY. VENTILATE CLOSED SPACES BEFORE
ENTERING.

Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS (WOOD,
PAPER, FUEL, OILS, ETC.); CONTACT MAY RESULT IN IGNITION OR
EXPLOSION. DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL DAMAGE OR OVERHEATING OF
CONTAINERS. CONTENTS ARE UNDER PR ESSURE; CONTAINERS MAY VIOLENTLY
RUPTURE AND TRAVEL A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:THE SPECIFIC RESPIRATOR SELECTED MUST BE BASED
ON CONTAMINATION LEVELS FOUND IN THE WORK PLACE, MUST NOT EXCEED
THE WORKING LIMITS OF THE RESIPIRATOR AND BE JOINTLY APPROVED BY
NIOSH/MSHA. USE ANY SUP PLIED AIR RESPIRATOR OPERATED IN
PRESSURE-DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE OR ANY
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE GENERAL DILUTION VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE, COLD INSULATING GLOVES.
Eye Protection:FOR THE GAS FORM EYE PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED BUT
RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:FOR THE GAS FORM, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING NOT
REQUIRED. IF CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID FORM IS POSSIBLE, EMPLOYEE
MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT
SKIN FROM FREEZING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WHERE THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONTACT WITH
THE LIQUID FORM, EMPLOYEE MUST WEAR SPLASH-PROOF SAFETY GOGGLES AND
FACE-SHIELD TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THIS SUBSTANCE. CONTACT LENSES
SHOULD NOT BE WORN.
