Hazards
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. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
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): 4233 mg/kg [Rat].
Acute dermal toxicity (LD50): >2000 mg/kg [Rat].
Acute toxicity of the dust (LC50): 1.93 mg/l 4 hours [Rat].
Chronic Effects on Humans Not available.
Other Toxic Effects on Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, in case of inhalation .
Humans
Special Remarks on Not available.
Toxicity to Animals
Special Remarks on May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects based on animal data. No human data found.
Chronic Effects on Humans
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation with coughing, shortness of breath.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, colic, cramping, and diarrhea. May
affect behavior/central nervous system(somnolence, trembling, incoordination, fatigue, headache, weakness,
listlessness, coma). May cause anorexia and dyspnea. There is a correlation between high molybdenum content
in food and the incidence of gout, uricemia, and xanthine oxidase activity. In animals, studies have shown that
Molybdenum may interfere with copper metabolism
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect the blood (normocytic anemia, changes in serum
composition), metabolism (weight loss), teeth (changes in teeth and supporting structures), and urinary system.
Inhalation: Chronic exposure of workers in molybdenum-copper plants has produced liver dysfunction (liver
function tests impaired, fatty liver degeneration)) with hyperbilirubinemia.
Chronic exposure may also affect behavior/central nervous system and cause joint and muscle pain
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing respiratory, kidney, or blood disorders, or gout.
