In case of inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen.
In case of skin contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
In case of eye contact: Contamination of the eyes should be treated by immediate and prolonged irrigation with
copious amounts of water. Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.
In case of ingestion: If swallowed, wash out mouth with water, provided person is conscious. Call a physician. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Inhalation: Inhalation may result in spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema.
Skin contact: Very toxic in contact with skin.
Ingestion: Very toxic if swallowed.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically. Show this
safety data sheet to a physician or emergency room.


Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguisher media:
Suitable extinguisher media: Use water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry chemical powder or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
Special hazards arising from the mixture: Tellurium oxides. This material, like most materials in powder form, is
capable of creating a dust explosion. Flammable solid. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Advice for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin
and eyes.
Further information: Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.


Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal precautions: Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition. Use non-sparking tools. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and
wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Reference to other sections:
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".
