Indication of immediate In case of shortness of breath,give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. medical attention and special Symptoms may be delayed. treatment needed General information If exposed or concerned: get medical attention/advice. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Water spray.Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide(CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. media Specific hazards arising from Vapor may cause flash fire.Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash the chemical back. Sensitive to static discharge. Special protective equipment Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure and precautions for firefighters demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Fire-fighting Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure equipment/instructions demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. In the event of fire,cool tanks with water spray. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible,withdraw from area and let fire burn.Vapors may form explosive air mixtures even at room temperature. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. Some of these materials, if spilled, may evaporate leaving a flammable residue.Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Use compatible foam to minimize vapor generation as needed. Specific methods Use water spray to cool unopened containers. General fire hazards Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Containers may explode when heated. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spills cannot protective equipment and be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas.Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Do emergency procedures not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. See Section 8 of the SDS for Personal Protective Equipment. Methods and materials for Eliminate all ignition sources(no smoking,flares, sparks,or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if containment and cleaning up you can do so without risk.This material is a water pollutant and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Dike the spilled material,where this is possible. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Small Spills:Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material,then place in a container for chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Large Spills: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the environment. Environmental precautions Gasoline may contain oxygenated blend products(Ethanol,etc.)that are soluble in water and therefore precautions should be taken to protect surface and groundwater sources from contamination. If facility or operation has an'oil or hazardous substance contingency plan", activate its procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill.Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not enter or stay in area unless monitoring indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry to emergency crew. Extremely flammable. Review Firefighting Measures, Section 5, before proceeding with clean up. Keep all sources of ignition(flames, smoking,flares, etc.)and hot surfaces away from release. Contain spill in smallest possible area. Recover as much product as possible(e.g. by vacuuming). Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Use compatible foam to minimize vapor generation as needed. Spilled material may be absorbed by an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers,storm drains, other unauthorized treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways. Contact fire authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters,the contiguous zone,or adjoining shorelines, contact the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802.
