SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes (particularly by dust) causes irritation and possible transient corneal injury. Contact of solid with dry skin causes mild irritation; strong solutions can cause marked irritation, even a superficial burn. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Approximately 80% of body calcium is excreted in the feces as insoluble salts; urinary excretion accounts for the remaining 20%.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of chlorine (see ICSC 0126). The solution in water is a weak base. Attacks zinc in the presence of water. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Dissolves violently in water with liberation of much heat.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Bromine trifluoride rapidly attacks calcium chloride [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:164, 165 1956]. Long term exposure of calcium chloride solution upon a zinc coated galvanized iron vessel caused slow evolution of hydrogen which ignited and exploded [Bretherick, 5th Ed., 1995].

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
