5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam
Special Hazards Arising from Substance: Combustion may produce carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus
Precautions: Keep containers cool with water spray to prevent overheating
Unusual Fire Hazards: Powdered protein dust can form explosive mixtures in air, handle accordingly

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; use personal protective equipment (lab coat, gloves, safety goggles)
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release into drains and aquatic environments
Clean Up Method: Sweep up gently to avoid creating dust, place in a sealed container for disposal
Decontamination: Wash area with water and detergent; ventilate the area
Special Equipment: Use HEPA-filtered vacuum for cleaning powder spills

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle inside chemical fume hood or well-ventilated location; minimize dust generation; avoid contact with skin and eyes
