Section VI - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Skin Absorption: Ingestion: Eyes:
Nuisance Dust No Hazard Yes Solids or dust may scratch surface of the
eye, which can cause mechanical irritation.
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): None. The following limit values for working atmospheres of
inert or nuisance dust will apply. Total dust - 15 mg/m3; respirable fraction 5 mg/m3.
Carcinogenicity: NTP: IARC Monographs: OSHA Regulated:
No No No No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Excessive concentrations of particulates in workroom air may seriously reduce visibility, may cause unpleasant
deposits in eyes, ears and nasal passages, or may cause temporary injury to the skin or mucuous membranes by
mechanical action.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: The American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has reported that so called 'nuisance' dusts have a long history of little adverse
effect on lungs and do not produce significant organic disease or toxic effect when exposures are kept under
reasonable control.
Eyes: immediately flush with clean lukewarm water (low pressure)
Emergency and First Air Procedures:
until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Ingestion: Treat symptomatically. FDA
considers wheat starch a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) substance. Inhalation: If exposed to excessive
levels of dust, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if persistent cough or other symptoms develop.
Skin: Wash with soap and water.

Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Avoid open flames, smoking, friction sparks, static sparks, welding and cutting tools in dusty
surroundings. Sweep up spilled material and place in suitable receptacles for disposal. Flush spill area
with water to remove residues. Do not flush to storm sewer or waterway.
Waste Disposal Method:
Conform to applicable federal, provincial, state, and municipal regulations. Is not hazardous waste as specified in
40CFR 261. Dispose in an approved landfill in accordance with provincial, state, and municipal regulations.
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing:
Best storage is under dry, cool, odor-free conditions, away from heat source. Do not expose to open flame or
sparks. Practice good housekeeping.
Other Precautions:
Avoid situations creating dust.
Section VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type ):
Use appropriate NIOSH/MSHA-approved a mask when necessary.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust (wired to protect against ignition hazards posed by starch dust) should be used to maintain
air-born dust concentrations below applicable OEL standards.
Protective Gloves: Eye Protection:
Impervious Gloves CSA Approved Safety Glasses
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment:
Good industrial hygiene practice.
