FIRST-AID MEASURES
| General advice | : | Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. For 24- hour emergency medical assistance, call Arch Chemical Emergen- cy Action Network at 1-800-654-6911. Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. |
| If inhaled | : | IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. |
| In case of skin contact | : | IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. |
| In case of eye contact | : | IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. |
| If swallowed | : | IF SWALLOWED: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an un- conscious person. |
| Notes to physician | : | Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. |
FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
| Suitable extinguishing media | : | Water only. |
| Specific hazards during firefighting | : | During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Closed containers may explode (due to the build up of steam pres- sure) when exposed to extreme heat. |
| Further information | : | Use water to cool containers exposed to fire. On small fires, use water spray or fog. On large fires, use heavy deluge or fog streams. Flooding amounts of water may be required before ex- tinguishment can be accomplished. Do not use dry extinguishers containing ammonium compounds. |
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures | : | Response to a large quantity spill (100 pounds or greater) or when dusting or decomposition gas exposure could occur requires the use of a positive pressure full-face supplied air respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical resistant gloves, coveralls, and boots. In case of fire, this personal protective equipment should be used in addition to normal firefighter equipment. Compatible materials for response to this material are: neoprene. Protection concerns must also address the following: If this materi- al becomes damp/wet or contaminated in a container, the for- mation of nitrogen trichloride gas may occur and an explosive con- dition may exist. |
| Environmental precautions | ||
| Air | : | Vapors may be suppressed by the use of water fog. |
| Water | : | This material is heavier than water. This material is soluble in water. Stop water flow or divert water flow around spill if possible and safe to do so. Begin monitoring for available chlorine and pH immediately. |
| Soil | : | Do not contaminate spill material with any organic materials, am- monia, ammonium salts or urea. Clean up all spill material with clean, dry dedicated equipment and place in a clean dry container. |
| Advice on safe handling | : | Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash off with water. Avoid breathing dust, mist, vapor or gas. |
| Conditions for safe storage | : | Store in a cool dry ventilated location, away from sources of igni- tion or other incompatible conditions and chemicals. Keep contain- er(s) closed. Avoid creating dusts. |
