Handling and Storage
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Protect from moisture and incompatible substances such as ammonia, acetylene, and strong reducing agents.
Handling Precautions: Handle only in a fume hood or controlled environment using full personal protective equipment. Mercury compounds must be treated with extreme caution due to their high toxicity.
