Section IV: Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Not a fire or spill hazard. Low toxicity; dry dust is a nuisance
Emergency Overview:
particulate. Generally, health effects are provided for exposure to dust
that may be generated during product transfer and handling.
Material will not burn. No unusual fire or explosion hazards.
Flammable Properties:
Use extinguishing media appropriate to combustibles in the
Extinguishing Media:
surrounding area.
Wet material should be kept out of eyes and off skin. As in any fire,
Protection for Firefighters:
wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Material does not give off toxic fumes in a fire unless molten.
Section V: Reactivity Data
Stable under normal conditions of storage.
Stability:
None under normal conditions.
Conditions to Avoid:
Components in the product can react violently when mixed with
Incompatibility (materials to avoid):
hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide, and nitric acid. Violent reaction
occurs when heated with powdered aluminum; calcium disilicide;
magnesium; metal acetylides. Mixtures with aluminum and sulfur react
violently if heated. Ignites on contact with hydrogen trisulfide.

None under normal conditions.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts:

Section VI: Health Hazard Data
Inhalation
Primary Route of Exposure:
Relevant Routes of Exposure:
EYE CONTACT: Particulate may cause slight to moderate irritation. Abrasive action of dust
particulate can damage eye.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause slight to moderate irritation.
INHALATION: Overexposure by inhalation of airborne particulate, dust, or fumes is irritating
to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of excessive levels of dust or fumes may
be harmful.
INGESTION: Unlikely route of exposure; no hazard in normal industrial use. Small amounts
(< tablespoonful) swallowed during normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury,
however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. If ingested in sufficient quantity, may
cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Acute and Chronic effects of Exposure: Excessive, short-term exposure to airborne mineral dusts and particulate may cause upper
respiratory and eye irritation. Excessive, long-term inhalation of airborne mineral dusts and
particulate may contribute to the development of bronchitis, reduced breathing capacity, and may
lead to the increased susceptibility to lung disease. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of
dust and fume containing iron compounds 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. Chronic ingestion of excess levels of iron (<50-100 mg/day, as /Fe/) can result in
pathological deposition of iron in the body tissues, the symptoms of which are fibrosis of the
pancreas, diabetes, mellitus, and liver cirrhosis.
(Dust) tearing of eyes, burning sensation in the throat, cough, chest discomfort.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
The excessive inhalation of mineral dust may aggravate pre-existing chronic lung conditions
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma.
Not a reproductive hazard.
Reproductive Hazards:
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash affected area with mild soap and water to remove any
dust adhering to the skin. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION: If exposed to excessive levels of dust or fumes, remove to fresh air and seek
medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel, and get medical attention.
IF INGESTED: Unlikely route of exposure. If ingested in sufficient quantity and victim is
conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Leave decision to induce vomiting to qualified medical personnel, since
particles may be aspirated into the lungs. Seek immediate medical attention.
Section VII: Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE
CONTAINMENT: Product is dry solid (granular or powder) and not readily soluble in water.
MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
However, prevent spilled product from entering streams, water bodies, and wastewater
systems.
CLEANUP: Vacuum or sweep up dry material and place in a container for reuse. Avoid
creating excessive airborne dust. Cleanup personnel need to wear approved respiratory
protection (air-purifying or air-supply), gloves, long-sleeved clothing and goggles to prevent
irritation from contact and inhalation.
EVACUTATION: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Derived from natural ores; no adverse
environmental effects known. However, prevent spilled product from entering streams, water

bodies, and wastewater systems. This material is used as an agricultural product.
COLLECTION: If possible, collect and reuse spilled product.
Waste Disposal Method:
RCRA: This product, as manufactured, is not a RCRA listed hazardous waste and does not
exhibit any characteristics of a hazardous waste, including toxicity (by EPA TCLP method).
DISPOSAL METHOD: This product is generally suited for landfill disposal. Follow all
applicable Federal, State, and local laws, rules, and regulations regarding the proper disposal
of this material. If this product has been altered or contaminated with other hazardous
materials, appropriate waste analysis may be necessary to determine proper disposal
method. A qualified environmental professional should determine waste characterization,
disposal, and treatment methods for this material in accordance with applicable Federal,
State, and local regulations and requirements.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin
Handling and Storing Precautions:
and eyes. Store in a cool, dry area. Keep container closed when not in use. Segregate from
products with which it can react including: hydrogen peroxide, calcium hypochlorite, and
fluorine gas.
This product is not regulated by USDOT as a hazardous material (49 CFR part 172.101). No
USDOT DATA:
UN code assigned. No placard required for transportation.
None
Other Precutions:
Section VIII: Control Measures
If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
Engineering Controls:
contaminants below the exposure limits listed in Section 2.
Eye Protection:
Corrosive to eyes. Wear protective safety goggles when dust generation is likely.
Skin Protection: Wear clothing sufficient to cover the skin, safety shoes, and leather gloves for hand protection
against dry material.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection (air purifying or air supplying) when
concentrations are above exposure limit value. A respiratory protection program that meets
OSHA 29 CFR part 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant the use of a respirator.
Wash thoroughly after using product. Wash contaminated clothing. Wash hands before
