NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 4 | Very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury (e.g. hydrogen cyanide, phosgene, methyl isocyanate, hydrofluoric 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. | Oxidizer, allows chemicals to burn without an air supply (e.g. potassium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate,hydrogen peroxide). Reacts with water in an unusual or dangerous manner(e.g. caesium, sodium, sulfuric acid). |
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into covered dry, plastic containers. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into covered dry, plastic containers. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Other Information
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.See ICSC 0360.
