Potential Health Effects
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information on the human health effects from exposure to this substance is limited.
Inhalation: Nuisance dust. May cause coughing and sneezing.
Ingestion: Mildly irritating to the gastro-intestinal system if large quantities are ingested. The effect is that of an acid,
producing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected.
Eye Contact: Mild irritant and possibly temporarily abrasive. Reddening and tearing may be experienced.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
BIOKING BIOCHEMICAL ENG鈥擬SDS鈥擳ARTARIC ACID -2-
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed or symptoms
occur, get medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower
eyelids occasionally. Call a physician if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Explosion: Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential
dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and
place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from any
source of heat or ignition. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust,
solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable fraction for nuisance dusts.
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3 total dust containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica for Particulates Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC).
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half face-piece particulate respirator (NIOSH
type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified
by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full face-piece particulate respirator
(NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full face-piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
