[Small spills/leaks]

Use a fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. ELIMINATE all ignition sources and prevent all contact with spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand, or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into loosley covered plastic containers for later disposal. This is a generic DOT guideline. EXCEPTION: For Dithionite (Hydrosulfite/Hydrosulphite) spills, UN1384, UN1923 and UN1929, dissolve with 5 parts water and collect for proper disposal.
[Incompatibilities]

Reacts violently with water, air and compounds with active hydrogen such as alcohols and acids.
[Stability]

Spontaneously flammable in air.
[Combustion Products]

Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
