ENGINEERING CONTROLS
路 Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals;
even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by
mutual friction.
路 If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of

speed wheel generated dusts (released at high

value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10
m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that
ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health
of the individual.
EYE
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on
contact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has been identified following
exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material may still produce health
damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice
requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an
occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to
such irritation can cause further lung damage.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as
emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations
of particulate are inhaled.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following inhalation (as
classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects
have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control
measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Chelates are occasionally used in therapies for various forms of poisoning. A systemic
reaction known as the "excessive chelation syndrome" consists mainly of general
unwellness, fatigue, thirst, followed by chills and fever. Muscle ache, headache, loss of
appetite, nausea and occasionally increased urinary urgency and frequency may occur, as
may cold-like symptoms.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e.
pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the
lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
Injection of EDTA and it salts can cause severe kidney damage with tissue death and
internal bleeding, bone marrow depression and critically low levels of calcium.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
*[BASF]
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Not readily biodegradable. Harmful to aquatic organisms.
May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. [ORICA]

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
路 Recycle wherever possible.
路 Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste
management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be
identified.
路 Dispose of by: Burial in a licenced land-fill or Incineration in a licenced apparatus
(after admixture with suitable combustible material)
路 Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are
cleaned and destroyed.
路 Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
路 Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:
路 If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not
remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture
containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
路 Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the
product.
Laboratory scale cleanup:-
Scoop up spilled material into a large beaker amd dissolve with water.
Adjust to a pH of 6-9 with an acid such as sulfuric or citric.
Flush reacted material to the train with a large excess of water.
Decontaminate spill area with a dilute solution of a weak acid.
