5.'Fire Fighting Measures <br /> Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical,Carbon dioxide(CO2),foam <br /> Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus while extinguishing fire. <br /> General Fire Hazards: Do not depend on ambient air for air supply during fires. Fire may result into release of <br /> toxic gases such as oxides of carbon,nitrogen, and sulfur. <br /> Fire &Explosion Hazards: May ignite when in contact with combustible materials. <br /> Hazardous Combustion Products: On thermal decomposition of carbon and nitrogen. <br /> 1 .6. Accidental Release Measures <br /> Personal precautions: For personal protection see section 8. Persons not wearing protective equipment should <br /> be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Provide maximum ventilation. <br /> Environmental precautions: Isolate area. Do not discharge into lakes and streams. The floor may be slippery, <br /> use caution to avoid falls. <br /> Methods for cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material(e.g.sand,silica gel,acid binder, universal <br /> binder,sawdust). Shovel material into appropriate container for disposal. <br /> Other information: Comply with all applicable federal,state,and local regulations. <br /> 7. Handling& Storage <br /> Handling: Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid skin contact. <br /> Storage: Store in a cool,dry,ventilated area. 771 <br /> 8.exposure Controls/ Personal Protection <br /> Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles with side shields. <br /> Skin &Body Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves. Wear full-face shield with apron where splashing or <br /> skin contact may be expected. Provide eye wash and safety shower stations. Follow normal hygienic practices for <br /> handling chemicals. <br /> Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge and/or filter <br /> may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure <br /> limits(if applicable)or if overexposure has otherwise been determined. Protection provided by air-purifying <br /> respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure,air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled <br /> release,exposure levels are not known or any other circumstances where an air-purifying respirator may not <br /> provide adequate protection. <br /> Ventilation: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)ventilation to maintain exposure below <br /> exposure guidelines(if applicable)or below levels that cause known,suspected,or apparent adverse effects. . <br /> 9.
