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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE-MECHANICAL. SKIN
    CONTACT-MECHANICAL. SKIN ABSORPTION-UNLIKELY. INGESTION-UNLIKELY.
    INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF DUST COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. EVEN
    DEATH, BECAUSE ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY OF MAGNESI UM IS MODERATE.
    INHALATION-DUST IRRITATION TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. SYSTEMS & OTHER
    EFFECTS EXPOSURES INCIDENTAL TO INDUSTRIAL HANDLING ARE NOT
    ANTICIPATED TO CAUSE ADVERSE EFFECTS. REPEATED EXCESSIVE EX POSURE
    TO FUMES OR DUST OF A NUMBER F METALS INCLUDING ALUMINUM MAY CAUSE
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NA
Effects of Overexposure:SEE ABOVE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SEE ABOVE.

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

First Aid:EYES- IRRIGATE IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES.
    SKIN-WASH OFF DUST IN FLOWING WATER OR SHOWER. INGESTION-INDUCE
    VOMITING IF LARGE AMOUNTS OF DUST ARE INGESTED CALL PHYSICIAN.
    INHALATION- REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IF DUST INHALATION CALL PHYSICIAN.
    NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE FOR DUST INHALATION.

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

Extinguishing Media:SMOTHER BURNING MAGNESIUM BY COVERING WITH AN
    EXTINGUISHING POWDER APPROED FOR USE ON MAGNESIUM FIRES SUCH AS GI,
    MET-L-X. CONSULT NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOC FOR OTHER
    INFORMATIO
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT SHOULD INCLUDE WEARING
    POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WHEN HEATED IN AIR TO TEMP NEAR ITS
    MELTING POINT, MAGNESIUM ALLOYS IGNITE AND BURN WITH WHITE FLAME.
    WATER ON BURNING MG. WILL PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS AND MAY CAUSE
    EXPLOSION.

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