Section 3: Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of
inhalation. Very hazardous in case of skin contact
(irritant). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and
itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by
itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of
inhalation. Very hazardous in case of skin contact
(irritant). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A1 (Confirmed for human.) by
ACGIH, 1 (Proven for human.) by IARC, +
(PROVEN) by OSHA. Classified 2 (Reasonably anticipated.) by NTP. MUTAGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance
is toxic to lungs, mucous membranes.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs
damage. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of
dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
p. 2
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running
water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids
open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical
attention.
Skin Contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and
thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices,
creases and groin. Cold water may be used.
Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an
anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in
a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the
tissues are damaged, a possible indication that
the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not
conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on
the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional
authority requirements.
Large Spill:
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
Finish cleaning by spreading water on the

Section 7: Handling and Storage
p. 3
Precautions:
Keep locked up Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If
ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage:
Carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic materials should be stored in a
separate locked safety storage cabinet or room.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use
ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be
sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.
Exposure Limits:
TWA: 0.1 (mg/m3) Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
