ENGINEERING: Aerosol/vapor generation require adequate exhaust ventilation.
HYGIENE: Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.


SUGGESTED FIRST AID

EYES: Flush with plenty of water. Call a physician.
SKIN: Wash affected area with soap and water.
INHALATION: If overcome by exposure to decomposition products, remove to fresh air. Call a physician immediately.
INGESTION: Call a physician or poison control. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.


SPILL AND DISPOSAL

Impound/extinguish all ignition sources or blanket with fire-fighting foam. On land, collect with inert absorbant. On water, contain, minimize dispersion and collect. Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapors. Report per regulatory requirements. Dispose in accord with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
