Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of
lukewarm water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm
water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get
immediate medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate
medical attention. INGESTION: If a large amount is swallowed, get
medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider
oxygen.

Fire Fighting

Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Use extinguishing
agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a
protected location or from a safe distance. Do not get water
directly on material. Reduce vapors with water spray. Avoid
inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and
keep out of low areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is
leaking.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard. Containers may
rupture or explode if exposed to heat.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:Stop leak if possible without personal risk.
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Neutralizing Agent:
