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.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the
residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

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 Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Use a dust respirator if ventilation is inadequate and/or handling
of material generates visible dust clouds. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves (impervious).
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
a Large Spill used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Routes of Entry Inhalation. Ingestion.
Toxicity to Animals LD50: Not available.
LC50: Not available.
Chronic Effects on Humans Not available.
Other Toxic Effects on Slightly hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation.
Humans Non-irritant for skin.
Special Remarks on Lethal Dose/Conc 50% Kill:
Toxicity to Animals LD50[Rat] - Route: Intraperitoneal; Dose: 4500 mg/kg
LD50[Mouse] - Route: Intraperitoneal; Dose: >8000 mg/kg
Special Remarks on Not available.
Chronic Effects on Humans
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Skin: Not likely to cause skin irritation.
Eyes: Dust may cause eye irritation by mechanical action.
Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract irritation by mechanical action.
Ingestion: Low hazard. Ingestion of very large amounts may cause gastrointestinal tract disturbances. The
only data that was found in the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) was LD50 toxicity
for rat and mouse by the intrapertoneal route. Exposure to very large amounts by intraperitoneal route did
affect behavior/central nervous system (convulsions, somnolence), respiration (dyspnea), and eyes (pupilliary
dilation). However, this not a usual route of exposure that any one handling the material would experience.
