EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

RISK

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS


SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified as "harmful by ingestion". This is because
of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be
damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where
pre-existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions
of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality

(death) rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).
Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an
occupational setting however, unintentional ingestion is not thought to be cause
for concern.

EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant, direct contact with the
eye may cause transient discomfort characterized by tearing or conjunctival
redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result. The material
may produce foreign body irritation in certain individuals.

SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.

INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung
function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron
penetrating and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung
shadows show on X-ray.


Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES


SWALLOWED
- Immediately give a glass of water.
- First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Center or a doctor.

EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
- Wash out immediately with water.
- If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.

SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.

ACUTE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE LEVELS (AEGL) (in ppm)


AEGL 1: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic nonsensory
effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and
reversible upon cessation of exposure.
AEGL 2: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects
or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL 3: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience life-threatening health effects or death.


Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE


PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
- Limit all unnecessary personal contact.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
- When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
- Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
- Avoid physical damage to containers.
- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
- Work clothes should be laundered separately.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS
Multi ply paper bag with sealed plastic liner or heavy gauge plastic bag.
NOTE: Bags should be stacked, blocked, interlocked, and limited in height so
that they are stable and secure against sliding or collapse. Check that all
containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks. Packing as recommended by
manufacturer.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION


EXPOSURE CONTROLS
No data available: zeolites as (CAS: 1318-02-1) / (CAS: 37305-72-9) / (CAS: 50809-51-3) / (CAS: 52349-29-8) / (CA


No data for Ammo-Chips.

INGREDIENT DATA
ZEOLITES:
Dusts not otherwise classified, as inspirable dust;
ES TWA: 10 mg/m鲁.
Particulate (insoluble or poorly soluble *) Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.C)

TLV TWA: 10 mg/m鲁 Inhalable particulate
TLV TWA: 3 mg/m鲁 Respirable particulate
OEL-Sweden, United Kingdom: 10 mg/m鲁 total dust, 5 mg/m鲁 respirable dust

These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not produce toxic
effects or organic disease. Although there is no dust which does not evoke some
cellular response at sufficiently high concentrations, the cellular response
caused by P.N.O.C.s has the following characteristics:
- the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
- scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
- tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
- seriously reduce visibility,
- cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
- contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or mechanical action,
per se, or by the rigorous skin cleansing procedures necessary for their
removal. [ACGIH]

This limit does not apply:
- to brief exposures to higher concentrations
- nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological impairment
at lower concentrations but for which a TLV has as yet to be determined.

This exposure standard applies to particles which
- are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water or, preferably, in aqueous lung
fluid (if data is available) and
- have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or otherwise
chemically reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing radiation, cause
immune sensitization, or cause toxic effects other than by inflammation or by a
mechanism of lung overload)
* Notice of intended change.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.

HANDS/FEET
Wear general protective gloves, e.g.. light weight rubber gloves.

OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
- Overalls.
- Barrier cream.
- Eyewash unit.

Explanation of Respirator Codes:

Class 3 high absorption capacity filters.
PAPR Powered Air Purifying Respirator (positive pressure) cartridge.
Type A for use against certain organic gases and vapors.
Type AX for use against low boiling point organic compounds (less than
65ºC).
Type B for use against certain inorganic gases and other acid gases and vapors.
Type E for use against sulfur dioxide and other acid gases and vapors.
Type K for use against ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives
Class P1 intended for use against mechanically generated particulates of sizes
most commonly encountered in industry, e.g. asbestos, silica.
Class P2 intended for use against both mechanically and thermally generated
particulates, e.g. metal fume.
Class P3 intended for use against all particulates containing highly toxic
materials, e.g. beryllium.

The local concentration of material, quantity and
conditions of use determine the type of personal
protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
- Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or
crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will
be powdered by mutual friction.
- If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air
could occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption
cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks
