Section 4: First Aid Measures
General Advice
Contact the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) in the case of suspected symptoms of poisoning, burning, or irritation by this product. Ensure that you have this SDS available when you call.
Inhalation: May cause irritation of nasal passages and throat. No first aid measures generally required. However, if inhalation has occurred and irritation has developed, remove to fresh air and observe until recovered. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Skin Contact: Wash skin gently and thoroughly with water and soap. If irritation develops or persists, seek medical advice. Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Rinse contaminated eye(s) with clean, cold water thoroughly for at least 15 minutes until the product is removed. Seek medical advice if irritation symptoms persist. Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and drink plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. If symptoms persist, contact the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) or a doctor. Advice to Physician: Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote.
Section 5: Fire-fighting Measures
Flammability: Not combustible. Under normal conditions, there is no risk of explosion from this product if involved in a fire. Hazardous Decomposition: Thermal decomposition products may cause irritation if inhaled. May produce toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. Suitable Extinguishing Media: Not combustible; however, use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials (water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide). Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high-pressure water streams that may scatter spilled material. Special Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing. In case of large fire involving this product, contact the fire brigade.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions
No special protective equipment is required for small spills. However, personnel involved in handling an accidental release should wear appropriate protective clothing including gloves and safety goggles. Ensure adequate ventilation in the area.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent spillage from entering open drains and waterways, if it is safe to do so. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus entering waterways can stimulate algal growth.
