iii. Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective
gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water
spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
iv. Accidental Release Measures
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective

Notes to Physician: Absorption of this product into the body may cause
cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive measures:
bed rest and oxygen inhalation. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of
Methylene blue, 1mg/kg of body weight may be of value.
