Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, drink water, obtain medical help if any discomfort appears, do not induce vomiting unless told by medical personnel
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, CO2
Special Hazards: May emit light smoke and small amounts of ammonia or phosphorous oxide when burned
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus for significant fires
Advice for Firefighters: Approach from upwind, douse with water spray to prevent dust resuspension, stay vigilant for slippery residues
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles
Environmental Precautions: Block from entering waterways, minimize dust spread with gentle sweeping or vacuum set with filter, pack spilled material into sealed containers
Cleanup Methods: Shovel into clean, labeled drums, wash surfaces with water after collecting bulk of material, ventilate affected area
