First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Skin
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove material from skin immediately. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
Eyes
Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed.
Skin
Avoid any skin contact. See Inhalation.
Eyes
See Inhalation.
Hazards
Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Exposure Effects
The toxological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Exposure limit(s)
NIOSH REL: C 0.05 mg V/m3 15-min. Note: REL applies to all V cmpds except V metal and Vanadium carbide). {Vanadium fume} NIOSH REL: C 0.05 mg V/m3 15-minute NIOSH IDLH: 35 mg/m3 (as V) {V fume} 35 mg/m3 (as V)

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Fire Potential
Non-Combustible

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Keep material out of water sources and sewers.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Incompatible with acids, strong bases and oxidizing agents.
Stability
No data.
Combustion Products
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
