the skin or mucous membranes is enough for this reaction. Prolonged direct contact to the dry
product should be avoided therefore. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Avoid skin contact. Pour downwind
and allow as little free fall as possible while emptying bags into equipment. Breathing must be
protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation.

Protection against fire and explosion:

No special precautions necessary.
