Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIRE: AS WITH MOST ORGANIC SOLIDS, FIRE
IS POSSIBLE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES OR BY CONTACT WITH AN IGNITION
SOURCE. EXPLOSION: FINE DUST DISPERSED IN AIR IN SUFFICIENT
CONCENTRATIONS, AND IN THE PRESE NCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS A
POTENTIAL DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA
OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR APPROP PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIP AS
SPECIFIED IN SECTION ON EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
CLEAN UP SPILLS IN MANNER THAT DOES NOT DISPERSE DUST INTO AIR.
USE NON-SPKG TOOLS & EQUIP. REDUCE AIRBORNE DUST & PVNT SCATTERING
BY MOISTENING W/WATER. PICK UP SPILL FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL &
PLACE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER.

POSITIVE-PESSURE, AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING
RESPIRATORS DO NOT PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:IN GEN, DILUTION VENT IS SATISFACTORY HLTH HAZ CTL FOR THIS
SUBSTANCE. HOWEVER, IF CNDTNS OF USE CREATE WORKER DISCOMFORT, LOC
EXHST SYS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
