3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Packaged granular desiccant, size and type vary.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: There are no health hazards associated with intact desiccant container. However, health
hazards do exist as a result of the dusts generated if the container is cut, split or otherwise compromised. Prolonged
or excessive exposure to dust may cause lung damage. Dust can be irritating to eyes.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Route of exposue unlikely. Dust may cause a mechnical irritation which can scratch the eye.
SKIN: No adverse effects expected.
INGESTION: Route of exposure unlikely. Ingestion of large quantities may cause stomach and intestinal distress.

INHALATION: Route of exposure unlikely. This material is normally packaged and contained in a pouch, bag or
canister. If the container is opened, prolonged or repeated inhalation of the dust may cause lung damage.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Redness, irritation, scratched cornea.
INGESTION: Upset stomach, intestinal distress.
INHALATION: Irritation of nose, throat and upper respiratory tract.
CARCINOGENICITY: This product contains crystalline silica which is known to cause cancer. Prolonged or repeated
exposure to respirable dust may cause silicosis. This material is packaged and contained in a pouch, bag or
cannister that prevent prolonged or repeated inhalation.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water.
INGESTION: Normally not needed. If large quantities are ingested, seek medical advice.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop or persist.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: Material is not flammable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing agent applicable to surrounding fire.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-
demand mode, (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: No special precautions required.
LARGE SPILL: With shovel or scoop, place material into appropriate container.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Use of proper hygiene practices in the workplace is recommended.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
OSHA HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS (29 CFR 1910.1200)
EXPOSURE LIMITS
OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV
mg/m3 mg/m3
ppm ppm
Clay TWA [1]
Silica, quartz 0.05
TWA [2] [3]
OSHA TABLE COMMENTS:
1. Not Established.
2. Total Dust = (30 mg/m3)/(%SiO2+2)
3. Respirable
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: None needed during normal use and handling.
SKIN: Use of proper hygiene practices in the workplace is recommended.
RESPIRATORY: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.
COMMENTS: All inert or nuisance dusts, whether mineral, inorganic, or organic, not listed specifically by substance
name are covered by the Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) limit which is 5 mg/m3 for respirable fraction
and 15 mg/m3 for total dust.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PHYSICAL STATE: Solid
ODOR: None
