Description of first aid measures
If inhaledFresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Inhalation causes severe irritation of respiratory system. Liquid causes severe burns of eyes and skin. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No specific antidote is available /for chlorosilanes/, but first aid treatment consists of copious irrigation with water, & subsequent treatment is as for chemical burns in general. Chlorosilanes
Extinguishing media
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Do not use water on material itself. If large quantities of combustibles are involved, use water in flooding quantities as spray and fog. Use water spray to knock-down vapors.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene gases may form in fires. Behavior in Fire: Difficult to extinguish; re-ignition may occur. Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. (USCG, 1999)
Advice for firefighters
NO water. Use AFFF, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water.

(Extra personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.)
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs and incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Dry. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor.Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs and incompatible materials ... Cool. Dry. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor.

Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride. Reacts violently with water, strong oxidants, strong acids and bases. This produces hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163). Attacks many metals in the presence of water.
Chemical stability
Volitile, moblie liquid. Fumes in air.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or by chemical reaction.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.TRICHLOROSILANE reacts with alcohols, acetone, light metals with generation of heat and combustible (H2) and corrosive (HCl) gases [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 924].
Conditions to avoid

Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
Trichlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze immediately upon contact with water(1) and therefore bioconcentration of trichlorosilane is not expected(SRC).
Mobility in soil
All silicon chlorides are immediately and completely hydrolyzed by water(1). Trichlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze in water releasing HCl(2); therefore, adsorption to soil is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
Disposal methods
ProductThe 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.

Other Information
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.Toxicological properties are inferred from those of Methyldichlorosilane (ICSC 0297).
