  2. Handling:
    • Handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood.
    • Avoid inhalation of dust, contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
    • Do not mix with acids — releases toxic chlorine gas.
    • Keep away from flammable materials and organic substances.
  3. Storage:
    • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
    • Keep the container tightly sealed, away from heat, light, and moisture.
    • Incompatible with ammonia, acids, reducing agents, and metals.
  4. Hygiene Measures:
    • Wash thoroughly after handling.
    • Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the laboratory.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  1. Inhalation:
    • Move to fresh air immediately.
    • If breathing difficulty occurs, give oxygen and seek medical attention.
  2. Skin Contact:
    • Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Rinse skin thoroughly with plenty of water.
    • Seek medical help if irritation persists.
  3. Eye Contact:
    • Flush eyes immediately with copious water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids.
    • Get immediate medical attention.
  4. Ingestion:
    • Do NOT induce vomiting.
    • Rinse mouth with water if conscious.
    • Seek immediate medical assistance.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  1. Extinguishing Media:
    • Use water spray, foam, or dry chemicals.
    • Do not use CO₂ directly on the powder—it may react violently with concentrated acids.
  2. Fire Hazards:
    • Not combustible, but oxidizing—enhances combustion of other materials.
    • Decomposes at high temperatures releasing toxic gases: chlorine, oxygen.
  3. Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
    • Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
    • Wear full chemical-protective gear.
  4. Explosion Risk:
    • Mixtures with organic materials or reducing agents may ignite explosively.
