*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. GENTLY LIFT EYELIDS AND
    MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. RINSE AREA WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND
    ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER. GET MEDICAL AID
    IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: RE MOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR
    IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL AID. NOTE TO
    PHYSICIAN: DUE TO DELAYED AND PERSISTENT SY MPTOMS, OBSERVE PATIENT
    (OTHER INFO)
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NON FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
    SUBSTANCE IS NON-FLAMMABLE; USE AGENT MOST APPROPRIATE TO
    EXTINGUISH SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER REACTIVE MATERIAL. WILL REACT WITH
    WATER AND MAY RELEASE FLAMMABLE AND/OR TOXIC GAS. REACTS WITH MOST
    METALS TO FORM HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN FORM
    EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:AVOID RUNOFF INTO STORM SEWERS AND DITCHES
    WHICH LEAD TO WATERWAYS. WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND APPROPRIATE
    PERSONAL PROTECTION (SEE EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
    SECTION).
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE SPILL WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT GET ON SKIN OR IN EYES. DO NOT
    INGEST OR INHALE. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY
    FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES.
Other Precautions:DANGER: CORROSIVE. HARMFUL IF INHALED. POISON. DO NOT
    STORE IN METAL OR GLASS CONTAINERS. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
