=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: DIRECT CONTACT CAUSES EYE
    IRRITATION. MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. MAY CAUSE BLEPHARITIS
    (INFLAMMATION OF THE MARGINS OF THE EYELIDS). SKIN: CAUSES SKIN
    IRRITATION WITH CONTINUED EXPOSURE (DRY,  RED, CRACKED SKIN).
    INGESTION: MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS/LESIONS OF MOUTH. MAY CAUSE
    DIGESTIVE TRACT BURNS. INHALATION: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES IF EXPOSED TO H IGH LEVELS
    OF AIRBORNE DUST. CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY
    CAUSE DERMATITIS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE:MAY CAUSE BLEPHARITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE
    MARGINS OF THE EYELIDS). SKIN: CAUSES (DRY, RED, CRACKED SKIN).
    INGESTION: MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS/LESIONS OF MOUTH. MAY CAUSE
    DIGESTIVE TRACT BURNS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST
    15 MINUTES, OCCASSIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER & LOWER LIDS. GET
    MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY
    OF WATER F OR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND
    PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: RINSE MOUTH WITH

    FRESH AIR. IF DISCOMFORT OCCURS AND PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:WATER, WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL. IF
    HEATRED TO DECOMPOSITION, PRODUCT EMITS FUMES OF SODIUM OXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
    EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL EQUIPMENT AS INDICATED FOR
    CONCENTRATIONS OF HIGH DUST. SWEEP UP AND RECYCLE TO PROCESS IF
    CONTAMINATION DOES NOT PRESENT A PROBLEM. FLUSH LIQUIDS AND
    RESIDUES TO HOLDING AREA FOR  NEUTRALIZATION BEFORE DISCHARGE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING-USE AIR CONVEYING/MECHANICAL
    SYSTEMS FOR BULK TRANSFER TO STORAGE. FOR MANUAL HANDLING OF BULK
    TRANSFER USE MECHANICAL VENTILATION TO REMOVE AIRBORNE DUST FROM
    RAILCAR, SHIP, OR TRUCK. USE AP PROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN
    VENTILATION SYSTEMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Other Precautions:STORAGE-STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA AWAY FROM ACIDS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
    29 CFR 1910.134. ALWAYS USE  A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN
    NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE PROCESS ENCLOSURE, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR OTHER
    ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO CONTROL AIRBORNE DUST.
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
    EXPOSURE.
Eye Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EYEGLASSES OR CHEMICAL
    SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
    PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
