HANDLING
Handling in moist air should be avoided. Safe handling requires the safety precautions
typical for inorganic fluorides. Thus, eyes or skin should not be exposed to cesium fluoride,
otherwise severe irritation may result. Ingestion must be avoided because of the toxicity of
fluoride.
STORAGE
Because of its hygroscopicity cesium fluoride should be stored in tightly closed containers.
