3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Health Effects - Inhalation
Exposure to dust at high concentrations may have the following effects:
- severe irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain
medical attention if soreness or redness persists.
Skin
Immediately flood the skin with large quantities of water, preferably under a shower. Remove
contaminated clothing and continue washing . Contaminated clothing should be washed or dry-
cleaned before re-use. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. If there is
difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Advice to Physicians
Treat symptomatically. Treat skin burns conventionally.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards

Engineering Control Measures
Engineering methods to prevent or control exposure are preferred. Methods include process or
personnel enclosure, mechanical ventilation (dilution and local exhaust), and control of process
conditions.
Respiratory Protection
Dust respirator. The specific respirator selected must be based on the airborne concentration found
in the workplace and must not exceed the working limits of the respirator.
Hand Protection
- Neoprene gloves
Eye Protection
Chemical goggles
Body Protection
- overall or apron
