Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Corrosives area.
[Handling]

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
[Inhalation]

May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and inflammation of the gums and mouth.
[Skin]

Causes skin burns.
[Eyes]

Causes eye burns. Lachrymator.
[Ingestion]

Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
[Hazards]

Vapor may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
