	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	Prevent deposition of dust. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Avoid inhalation of dust.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Causes eye irritation Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from oxidants.
