SECTION 06: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill: For dry powder spills, inert materials such as sand may be added to control
dusting prior to cleanup. Industrial grade vacuum sweepers are also recommended.
Place spilled material into appropriate waste containers for disposal.
Large Spill: Contain spilled material immediately with an inert substance such as sand or
earth. Use plastic or aluminum shovel to transfer diluted waste material into appropriate

Airborne organic pigment dust may be an implosion hazard. Secure possible sources of
ignition and avoid dusting.
SECTION 07: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid employee exposure through the use of appropriate engineering controls and good

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
N/A
Effects of Acute Exposure:
Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a condition known as
siderosis. On X-rays it appears to be a benign pneumoconiosis and is not associated
Effects of Chronic Exposure:
with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis
producing materials such as silica. The TLV is set to protect against siderosis.
N/A
Irritancy of Product:
No adverse effects expected. Wash with soap and water.
Skin Sensitization:
Inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Respiratory Sensitization:
No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Eye Sensitization:
If conscious give large quantities of water to induce vomiting. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
In an inhalation study, a toxilogical lab found evidence of lung cancer (malignant tumors)
in one out of every 77 male rats and 13 out of 74 female rats after they were expose to
250mg/m鲁 Titanium Dioxide repairable dust for a two-year period. No compound related
tumors were found in rats at the 10 or 50mg/m鲁 exposure levels. The exposure level of
250 mg/m3 is approximately 50 times that permitted in an occupational environment.
Carcinogenicity:
To our knowledge, no such results have been experienced by humans. The National
Cancer Institute (NCI) conducted a feeding study in rats and mice in which either 25000
or 50000 ppm titanium dioxide was given in their diet for two years. Under the conditions
of the NCI test, titanium dioxide did not cause cancer by the oral route. Not listed as a
carcinogen by NTP, IARC and OSHA. Not listed as a carcinogen.
