SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Black. Powder. Dust may irritate nose and throat. Dust irritating to the respiratory tract. Leave area to breathe
fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation Dust may irritate nose and throat. Dust irritating to the respiratory tract.
:
Eyes May cause temporary injury. May cause mechanical irritation or abrasion.
:
Ingestion May cause irritation to the mouth, throat and stomach. May cause gastrointestinal
:
irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin May cause moderate irritation.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Carbon black is classified by IARC to be a known animal carcinogen and a possible human carcinogen (Group
2B). Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes
sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust
above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury,
silicosis may result from breathing free silica.

Inhalation : Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get
medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye lids apart. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin contact : Clean area of contact thoroughly using soap and water. If irritation, rash or other
disorders develop, get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control
Center or Physician immediately.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Wear appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator
where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits
indicated on the MSDS. Follow manufacturer's directions for respirator use.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious rubber or vinyl gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face
shield to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes
with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily
available.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing.
Protective measures : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.Wear gloves, head
coverings and full body clothing as necessary to prevent skin irritation.
Washable or disposable clothing may be used. Do not take unwashed
clothing home. Work clothes should be washed separately from other clothing
and the washing machine rinsed thoroughly following use. Inform the
launderer of the proper procedures. Store work clothes and street clothes
separately to prevent contamination.
: Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide maximum ventilation in enclosed
Engineering measures
areas.Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inadequate.
