1. Exposure limits listed for each ingredient is for exposure to dust that may be generated during product transfer and handling.
2. GRANUSOL鈩? ZINC, 36% Zn is manufactured for use as a fertilizer additive. Health effects resulting from the product being used
for any other purpose or process is not addressed in this material safety data sheet.
3. NTP Class 2A: Reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen, limited evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans.
4. IARC Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans.
5. IARC Group 3: Unclassifiable as human carcinogen.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Not a fire or spill hazard. Low toxicity; dry dust is a nuisance particulate.
Generally, health effects are provided for exposure to dust that may be generated during product transfer
and handling.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Primary Route of Exposure: Inhalation
Relevant Route(s) of Exposure
Eye Contact: Contact with particulate may cause slight to moderate eye irritation. Abrasive action
of dust particulate can damage eye.
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause slight to moderate skin 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: Ingestion is an 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.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes.
Acute Effects of Exposure: Excessive, short-term exposure to airborne mineral dusts and particulate
may cause upper respiratory and eye irritation.
Chronic Effects of Exposure: 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.

GRANUSOL鈩? ZINC, 36% Zn
AMERICAN MINERALS EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS:
901 East Eighth Avenue - Suite 200 AM Health & Safety: (610) 337-8030
King of Prussia, PA, 19406 CHEMTREC (24-hrs): (800) 424-9300
Silica: Crystalline silica (quartz) is a known cause of lung disease (silicosis). Respirable size quartz
has been classified as a human carcinogen (lung cancer). Take precautions to avoid inhaling dust or
creating dusty conditions. Dust generated from this product may contain crystalline silica (quartz). The
prolonged inhalation (usually years) of mineral dust containing free/crystalline silica may result in the
development of a disabling pulmonary fibrosis known as silicosis a progressive, incapacitating and
sometimes-fatal lung disease. Silicosis is characterized by generalized fibrotic changes and the
development of miliary nodules in both lungs, and clinically by shortness of breath, decreased chest
expansion, wheezing, lessened capacity for work, absence of fever, and the increased susceptibility to
other lung disease. IARC has classified crystalline silica as a 鈥渒nown human carcinogen鈥? Group 1. NTP
has listed respirable crystalline silica amongst substances, which may 鈥渞easonably be anticipated to be
carcinogens.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: (Dust) tearing of eyes, burning sensation in the throat, cough,
chest discomfort.
Medical Conditions Generally Known to be Aggravated by Exposure: The excessive inhalation of
mineral dust may aggravate pre-existing chronic lung conditions such as, but not limited to, bronchitis,
emphysema, and asthma.
Reproductive Hazards: Not a reproductive hazard.
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
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eye Contact: Remove material by immediately flushing eyes with clean, flowing, lukewarm water
(low pressure) for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash affected area with mild soap and water to remove any dust
adhering to the skin. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If exposed to excessive levels of dusts or fumes, remove to fresh air and get medical
attention if cough or other symptoms develop. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give
oxygen by trained personnel, and get medical attention.
Ingestion: Ingestion is an 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.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: None.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES : Material will not burn. No unusual fire or explosion hazards.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate to combustibles in the surrounding area.
PROTECTION FOR FIREFIGHTERS: Wet material should be kept out of eyes and off skin. As in any fire,
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 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT: Product is dry solid (granular or powder) and not readily soluble in water. 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.
COLLECTION: If possible, collect and reuse spilled product.
REPORTING: SEE SECTION 15: REGULATORY INFORMATION
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
EVACUATION: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.
HANDLING: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes.
STORAGE: 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.
WARN YOUR EMPLOYEES (AND YOUR CUSTOMERS - USERS IN CASE OF RESALE) BY
POSTING AND OTHER MEANS OF THE HAZARDS AND OSHA PRECAUTIONS TO BE USED.
PROVIDE TRAINING FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES ABOUT OSHA PRECAUTIONS.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limits listed in SECTION 2.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye & Face 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.
General Hygiene Considerations: Wash thoroughly after using product. Wash contaminated
clothing. Wash hands before eating or drinking.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES : See SECTION 2.
