    CONSCIOUS, WASH MOUTH OUT WITH WATER; DRINK SEVERAL GLASSES OF
    WATER.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITIN G! SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING
    MATERIALS. WEAR ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTION TO PREVENT CONTACT
    WITH MATERIAL OR ITS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL
    FACEPIECE OPERATED IN A PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE
    MODE. COOL CONTAINING VESSELS WITH FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER
    UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE  IS OUT. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE/EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE

    IMPACT IS NOT APPLICABLE. THE SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE IS
    NOT APPLICABLE.  EMITS TOXI C AND CORROSIVE FUMES UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AND VENTILATE THE AREA. COVER WITH
    SODA ASH OR LIME. THIS WILL RELEASE CARBON DIOXIDE, SO USE CAUTION.
    PLACE IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER AND MARK FOR DISPOSAL. WASH SPILL
    SITE AFTER MATERIAL PICK  UP IS COMPLETE. DO NOT EMPTY INTO DRAINS.
    DO NOT TOUCH DAMAGED CONTAINER OR SPILLED MATERIAL. STAY UPWIND:

    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPAR ATUS OR AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR,
    BOTH WITH FULL FACE PIECE.
Ventilation:USE ONLY IN A CHEMICAL FUME HOOD TO KEEP AIRBORNE LEVELS
    BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS. DO NOT USE IN UNVENTILATED
    SPACE.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES (NEOPRENE).
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD AND SPLASH GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:NEOPRENE APRON, COVERALLS, AND/OR OTHER
    RESISTANT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AS REQUIRED FOR WORKPLACE CONDITIONS
