Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: YES
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: SYMPS:DISCOMFORT/IRRIT TO RESP TRACT & NASAL PASSAGES.
MAY CAUSE IRRIT TO EYES W/PRLNGD CONT. ACUTE:INHAL EXPOS MAY CAUSE
DISCOMFORT/IRRIT TO NASAL & RESP PASSAGES. PRLNGD SKIN & EYE CONT MAY
CAUSE IR RIT. CHRONIC:NONE KNOWN. WHILE CARBON BLACK CNTNS TRACE AMTS OF
ABSORBED POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC CMPDS (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: CARBON BLACK:IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE EVALUATION
OF CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO MAN, VOL 65, PG 24, 1995:GROUP 2B.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HLTH HAZS:(PNA'S), SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN
FOUND TO CAUSE CANCER IN CERTAIN STUDIES, NO CARCIN EFT HAS BEEN FOUND IN
ANIMAL STUDIES DUE TO EXPOS TO CARBON BLACK. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF
INCIDENCE O F CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR & RESP DISEASEIN WORKERS IN CARBON
BLACK PRDCING INDUSTRY HAVE SHOWN NO SIGNIFICANT (SUP DAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
First Aid: EYES:FLUSH WITH GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITAITON PERSISTS. SKIN:WASH DUST FROM SKIN WITH MILD
SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION:REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA. ING ESTION:IF
CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER TO INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: NORMAL CLEANUP PROCEDURES. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
AVOID CAUSING DUST TO BECOME AIRBORNE. VACUUM CLEANING SYSTEMS ARE
RECOMMENDED.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISP MUST BE MADE IN ACCORD W/FED, STATE & LOC
REGS. PURSUANT TO 40 CFR PART 261 OF RESOURCE CONSERVATION & RECOVERY ACT
(RCRA), CERCLA/DOT REGS CURRENTLY IN EFT, DISCARDED CARBON BLACK WOULD NOT BE
C LASSIFIED AS HAZ WASTE.
Handling And Storage Precautions: GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE REQUIRES
THAT EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE BE MAINTAINED BELOW THE RECOMMENDED TLV.
Other Precautions: THIS IS PREFERABLY ACHIEVED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF
ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHERE NECESSARY. WHERE DUST CANNOT BE CONTROLLED IN THIS
WAY, PERSONAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHOULD BE EMPLOYED.
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: WATER FOG. IT MAY NOT BE APPARENT THAT CARBON BLACK IS
BURNING UNLESS MATERIAL IS STIRRED AND SPARKS ARE EVIDENT.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (FP N).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: MATL IS SLIGHT FIRE HAZ WHEN EXPOSED TO
HEAT/FLAME. THIN LAYERS OF DUST WILL IGNITE @ ABOUT 500F. DUST CLOUDS CAN
IGNITE ON CONT W/INTENSLY HEATED SURF,(SUPDAT)
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: USE OF NIOSH APPROVED DUST MASK OR PARTICULATE
RESPIRATOR IS RECOMMENDED WHEN EXPOSURE LIMITS MAY BE EXCEEDED. THE
PERFORMANCE RATING OF THE RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR THE PARTICULAR
DUST EXPOS URE LEVELS.
Ventilation: LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO COLLECTOR OR CONTAINMENT RECOMMENDED
TO CONTROL DUST TO BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves: LEATHER OR RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection: ANSI APPROVED CHEM WORKERS GOGGS (FP N).
Other Protective Equipment: ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER
(FP N).
Work Hygienic Practices: GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYE
EXPOSURE BE MAINTAINED BELOW THE RECOMMENDED TLV.
Supplemental Safety and Health: EXPLO HAZS:PRESENTING FIRE, MORE THAN AN
EXPLOSIVE HAZARD. BURNING CARBON BLACK CAN PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE AND SULFUR
DIOXIDE. EFTS OF OVEREXP:HEALTH EFFECTS DUE TO OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO
CARBON BL ACK.
