FIRST AID MEASURES <br />Ingestion: <br />If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything <br />by mouth to an unconscious person. <br />Skin Contact: <br />Remove contaminated clothing and shoes without delay. Wash immediately with plenty of water. Do not reuse <br />contaminated clothing without laundering.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES <br />Extinguishing Media: <br />Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or large quantities of water. <br />Protective Equipment: <br />Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full firefighting protective clothing. <br />Special Hazards: <br />Solid xanthates are stable when kept cool and dry. Exposure to heat and moisture can cause decomposition to <br />flammable and explosive vapor of carbon disulfide. Since xanthates decompose in solution, even at room <br />temperature, fire and explosion hazards can develop with aging. <br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />Personal Precautions: <br />Where exposure level is not known, wear approved, positive pressure, self-contained respirator. Where exposure <br />• level is known, wear approved respirator suitable for level of exposure.
