Description of first aid measures
General adviceMost important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing mediaSpecial hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Sulfur oxides Lithium oxides Not combustible.
May not get in touch with: Water
Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Advice for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 3 | Short exposure could cause serious temporary or moderate residual injury (e.g. liquid hydrogen, sulfuric acid, calcium hypochlorite, hexafluorosilicic acid) | |
| FIRE | 0 | Materials that will not burn under typical fire conditions, including intrinsically noncombustible materials such as concrete, stone, and sand. Materials that will not burn in air when exposed to a temperature of 820 °C (1,500 °F) for a period of 5 minutes.(e.g. Carbon tetrachloride) | |
| REACT | 2 | Undergoes violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures, reacts violently with water, or may form explosive mixtures with water (e.g. white phosphorus, potassium, sodium) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
