Methane <br />Section 4. First aid measures <br />Protection of first-aiders :No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may <br />be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. <br />See toxicological information (Section 11) <br />Section 5. Fire-fighting measures <br />Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if <br />there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable <br />training. Contact supplier immediately for specialist advice. Move containers from fire <br />area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers <br />cool. If involved in fire, shut off flow immediately if it can be done without risk. If this is <br />impossible, withdraw from area and allow fire to burn. Fight fire from protected location <br />or maximum possible distance. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. <br />Hazardous thermal <br />decomposition products <br />Specific hazards arising <br />from the chemical <br />Decomposition products may include the following materials: <br />carbon dioxide <br />carbon monoxide <br />Contains gas under pressure. Extremely flammable gas. In a fire or if heated, a <br />pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent <br />explosion. <br />Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing <br />apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. <br />Special protective <br />equipment for fire-fighters <br />Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. <br />Extinguishing media <br />: <br />: <br />: <br />None known. <br />Suitable extinguishing <br />media <br />: <br />Unsuitable extinguishing <br />media <br />: <br />Special protective actions <br />for fire-fighters <br />: <br />Section 6. Accidental release measures <br />Environmental precautions <br />Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures <br />Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof <br />tools and explosion-proof equipment. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact <br />information and Section 13 for waste disposal. <br />: <br />:Accidental releases pose a serious fire or explosion hazard. No action shall be taken <br />involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. <br />Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Shut off all ignition <br />sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing gas. Provide <br />adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put <br />on appropriate personal protective equipment. <br />Ensure emergency procedures to deal with accidental gas releases are in place to avoid <br />contamination of the environment. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has <br />caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). <br />Large spill : <br />Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof <br />tools and explosion-proof equipment. <br />Small spill : <br />Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up <br />For non-emergency <br />personnel <br />For emergency responders :If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in <br />Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials.
