Specific hazards arising from the chemical:
Carbon oxides, Sulfur oxides, Calcium oxides.
Advice for firefighters:
As in any fire, wear a NIOSH-approved or equivalent, pressure-demand,
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear protective equipment and keep unprotected personnel away. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Prevent further leak or spill if safe to do so. For personal protective equipment, please refer to section 8.
Environmental precautions:
Do not let product enter drains, other waterways, or soil.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Prevent further leak or spill if safe to
do so. Vacuum, sweep up, or absorb with inert material and place into a suitable disposal container.
Consult local regulations for disposal. See section 13 for further disposal information.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and personal clothing. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing fumes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear suitable
protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection. Keep away from sources of ignition. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Keep container tightly closed. Open and handle container with care. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in a tightly-closed container when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Keep away from sources of ignition.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limits:
OSHA PEL: Not available.
NIOSH REL: Not available.
ACGIH TLV: Not available.
Appropriate engineering controls: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash hands before
breaks and immediately after handling the product. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be
equipped with an eyewash fountain. Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
Personal protection
Eyes: Based on an evaluation of the eye or face hazards present, wear chemical splash-resistant
safety glasses or goggles with side protection. A face shield may be appropriate in some
workplaces. Use eyewear tested and approved under appropriate government standards
such as OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 or EU EN166.
Hands: Wear gloves selected based on an evaluation of the possible hazards to hands and skin,
the duration of use, the physical conditions of the workplace, and the chemical resistance
and physical properties of the glove material.
Skin and body: Protective clothing must be selected based on the hazards present in the workplace, the
physical environment, the duration of exposure, and other factors. No fabric can provide
protection against all potential hazards; therefore it is important to select the appropriate
protective clothing for each specific hazard. At the minimum, wear a laboratory coat and
close-toed footwear.
Respiratory: Respirators are not a substitute for accepted engineering control measures such as
enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution
of less toxic materials. When respiratory personal protective equipment is appropriate
based on an assessment of respiratory hazards in the workplace, use a NIOSH- or
CEN-certified respirator.

The calcium atom has a radius of 197 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 231 pm. Calcium was discovered and first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808. It is the fifth most abundant element in the earth's crust and can be found in minerals such as dolomite, gypsum, plagioclases, amphiboles, pyroxenes and garnets. In its elemental form, calcium has a dull gray-silver appearance. Calcium is a reactive, soft 
It frequently serves as an alloying agent for other metals like 
The number of electrons in each of Sulfur's shells is 2, 8, 6 and its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p4. In its elemental form, sulfur has a light yellow appearance. The sulfur atom has a covalent radius of 105 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 180 pm. In nature, sulfur can be found in hot springs, meteorites, volcanoes, and as galena, gypsum, and epsom salts. Sulfur has been known since ancient times but was not accepted as an element until 1777, when Antoine Lavoisier helped to convince the scientific community that it was an element and not a compound.
