Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, give oxygen (To be administered by qualified medical personnel
only!) If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration. Keep victim warm and at rest. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give large quantities of water or milk. (Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person!) Induce vomiting. Lower the head so that the vomit will not re-enter the mouth and throat. Seek medical
attention.
Skin: Wash with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
Eyes: Rinse with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. DO NOT use an eye ointment.
Convulsions: Do not restrain the victim, but do remove objects with which they might injure themselves; or, orient the victim to
prevent them from striking fixed heavy objects. If the convulsions cease, turn the victim on their side or face down, so that any
fluid in the mouth can drain.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: 0.035 Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, sand, graphite--DO NOT use water
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Can pose dust explosion hazard if dispersed in air. May react with water to form combustible hydrogen gas.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear dust respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Sweep up and place in bag or vacuum up with proper filter equipped
instrument. Avoid creating dust. Ventilate and wash spill site after collecting solid. Dispose according to local, state, and federal
regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible
materials. Ground all equipment containing material. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation of dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
DO NOT wear contact lenses while using this material.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only in well-ventilated areas.

X. Stability and Reactivity:
Stability:
Normally stable
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):
Acids, strong alkalies, strong bases, strong oxidizers, iodates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, oxides, nitrites, nitrates, carbon
disulfide, chlorides, sodium peroxide + carbon dioxide, sulfur dichloride, palladium, manganese, magnesium + potassium
chlorate, sodium carbonate, sulfates, diborane, water, ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark), pure oxygen
Decomposition/By Products:
Combustible hydrogen gas
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur
XI. Toxicological Information:
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 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.
XII. Ecological Information:
Prevent from entering sewers or waterways. May be toxic to some aquatic life.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
XIV. Transport Information:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible
materials. Ground all equipment containing material. Avoid dust generation and accumulation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation of
dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
XV. Regulatory Information:
Lycopodium is hazardous by definition of OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
This material is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of SARA Title III and 40 CFR Part 373.
