TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Highly flammable.	NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.	Carbon dioxide. Foam. Dry powder. NO water.
EXPLOSION	Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Risk of explosion on contact with copper	Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water.

EXPOSURE
•INHALATION	Cough. 131000	Ventilation.	Fresh air, rest.
•SKIN		Protective gloves.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
•EYES	Redness. Pain. ding	Safety goggles	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.
•INGESTION	Dizziness. cal irritation effects of the GI-tract)	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.
