2 Eye contact Notes to physician Specific treatments This safety data sheet is prepared in accordance with EU In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. See section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms. 5. Firefighting measures Extinguishing media Special exposure hazards Hazardous thermal decomposition products Use an extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding fires. No specific hazard. Protective Clothing A selfcontained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Some metallic oxides. Special protective equipment for firefighters Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. 6. Accidental release measures Personal Precautions Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment (Section 8). Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Methods for cleaning up If emergency personnel are unavailable vacuum or carefully scoop up spilled materials and place in an appropriate container for disposal. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Note see section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal. 7.
