Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Contact with eyes or skin produces caustic burns. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and teat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 M of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool . If product was ingested, protect yourself from contact with vomitus, since it may cause burns. Flammable solids
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Use approved Class D extinguishers or smother with dry sand, dry clay, or dry ground limestone. DO NOT use carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents. DO NOT use water. Violent reaction may result.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 138 [Substances - Water-Reactive (Emitting Flammable Gases)]: Produce flammable gases on contact with water. May ignite on contact with water or moist air. Some react vigorously or explosively on contact with water. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Some are transported in highly flammable liquids. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
NO water. Use special powder, dry sand. NO other agents. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
The substance is a strong reducing agent. Reacts with moisture, water, alcohols, halogens and many other substances. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001).
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Flammable when finely divided.Ignites in air when finely divided.Boron trifluoride reacts with incandescence when heated with alkali metals or alkaline earth metals except magnesium [Merck 11th ed. 1989]. Calcium reacts violently with acids [Lab. Govt. Chemist 1965]. Finely divided calcium burns spontaneously in chlorine at elevated temperatures [Mellor 3:637, 638, 651 1946-47].
