equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Remark :
6. Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use
suitable protective equipment (Section 8).
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers.
Methods for cleaning up : If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add
absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up
material and place in a sealed, liquid-proof container for disposal. For large spills
dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal.

standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the
safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves or gauntlets complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary.
Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.
Skin protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before

Over-exposure signs/symptoms
Target organs : Contains material which causes damage to the following organs: mucous
membranes, skin, eye, lens or cornea, nose/sinuses.
Other adverse effects : Absorbtion over a long period may cause"Argyria", a blue/grey discolouration of
various tissues. Industrial argyria may be local, involving the formation of blue/grey
particles in the skin and the conjunctivae, or generalised, which appears early on the
face, spreading to the hands. This is only normally manifest after many years of gross
over-exposure.
