EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

  • INHALATION

    		• Local exhaust.
    		Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
  • EYES

    		• Safety goggles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.

    		• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
    		Separated from acids, bases.
