Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority
requirements.
Large Spill Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water
on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not
present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
Precautions
equipment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes.

Storage
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
a Large Spill to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.

Section 11. Toxicological Information
Routes of Entry Inhalation. Ingestion.
Toxicity to Animals Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 319 mg/kg [Rat] (CAS no. 7720-78-7).
Chronic Effects on Humans May cause damage to the following organs: blood, liver, gastrointestinal tract, eyes.
Other Toxic Effects on Hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation (lung irritant).
Humans Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), .
Special Remarks on Not available.
Toxicity to Animals
Special Remarks on May affect genetic material (mutagenic).
Chronic Effects on Humans May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data.
May cause cancer based on animal test data.
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Eyes: Causes eye irritation.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal tract distrubances and irritation of the esophagus,
ulceraton of the stomach, nausea, vomiting (possibly with blood), colic, constipation, diarrhea, black stool. May
also affect behavior/Central Nervous System (somnolence -general depressed activity, aggression, lassitude,
drowsiness, ), cardiovascular system (tachycardia, peripheral vascular collapse), liver (liver damage, jaundice),
kidneys (pink urine discoloration, acute renal failure, acute renal tubular necrosis), metabolism (metabolic
acidosis, anorexia), respiration (hyperventilation due to metabolic acidosis).
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: Prolonged eye contact may cause a brownish discoloration of the eyes and lead to eye damage.
Ingestion: Repeated exposure via ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, black bowel
movements, increase iron levels in the liver, and spleen, and may produce jaundice. Damage may occur to
spleen and liver. Large chronic doses of iron may also interfere with assimilation of phosphorus.
Inhalation: Repeated or prolonged inhalation may affect the blood (change in serum composition), brain.
