SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:	Corrosive to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. May be harmful if swallowed. On prolonged contact with water, partial hydrolysis to hydrochloric acid may occur.
Primary Routes of Exposure:	Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation or ingestion of dust.
Eye Contact:	Causes burns to the eyes.
Skin Contact:	Causes burns to the skin.
Inhalation:	Inhalation of dust can lead to moderate irritation of the mucous membranes and lungs.
Ingestion:	May be harmful if swallowed. May cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pain and stomach upset.
Acute Health Effects:	Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be harmful if swallowed.
Chronic Health Effects:	No information available on long-term chronic effects.
NTP:	No
IARC:	No
OSHA:	No

SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Exposure:	Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Exposure:	Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.
Inhalation:	Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion:	Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.

SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point:	not applicable
Autoignition Temperature:	no data
Explosion Limits:	no data
Extinguishing Medium:	carbon dioxide, or dry powder.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:	Fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products:	If involved in a fire this material may emit hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and phosphorous pentoxide.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards:	No unusual fire or explosion hazards.

SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures:	Small spills can be neutralized with powdered sodium bicarbonate, lime, or calcium carbonate and swept up. Spillage in areas not adequately ventilated will require an evacuation of site. Emergency response teams will require self-contained breathing apparatus.

SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage:	Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed. Transfer material under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen argon or very dry air.

SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Eye Protection:	Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory.
Skin Protection:	When handling this material rubber gloves and an apron should be worn.
Ventilation:	Material has a pungent odor. Always handle material in an efficient fume hood.
Respirator:	In the absence of adequate ventilation a respirator should be worn. The use of a respiratory requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Additional Protection:	No additional protection required.
