Handling, storage and disposal

Summaries only, follow the supplier SDS for your grade

Safe handling

Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Hand protection: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Handle with gloves.

Storage

Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature: -20 °C. Light sensitive. Commercially available lomustine capsules should be stored in well-closed containers at a temperature less than 40 °C.

Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
