HEALTH HAZARD DATA

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: MATERIAL CAN BE INHALED, SWALLOWED OR COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN OR EYES.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: DUST AND FUME INHALATION MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. IN ADDITION, INHALATION OF FUMES FROM THIS MATERIAL CAN CAUSE METAL FUME FEVER WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS INCLUDING COUGHING, FATIGUE, MUSCULAR PAIN, AND NAUSEA, CHILLS AND FEVER. PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE TO COPPER MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION AND DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN OR HAIR.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

INHALATION: IF IRRITATION OR OTHER SYMPTOMS DEVELOP, REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: IF IRRITATION OR OTHER SYMPTOMS DEVELOP, THOROUGHLY WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. PREVENT FURTHER CONTACT. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE CONTACT: IF IRRITATION OCCURS, FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: IF SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITIES ARE SWALLOWED, GIVE PERSON (IFCONSCIOUS) A LARGE QUANTITY OF WATER TO DRINK, INDUCE VOMITING AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NTP ANNUAL REPORT, IARC MONAGRAPHS, OTHER): THIS MATERIAL HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KNOWN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA.

SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: VENTILATE AREA OF SPILL. CLEAN-UP USING METHODS WHICH AVOID DUST GENERATION SUCH AS VACUUMING (WITH APPROPRIATE FILTER TO PREVENT AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS WHICH EXCEED THE PEL OR TLV), WET DUST MOP OR WET CLEAN-UP. IF AIRBORNE DUST IS GENERATED, USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.

SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF AIRBORNE DUST/FUME CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED THE APPROPRIATE PEL OR TLV. ALL APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN 29 CFR 1910.134 SHOULD BE MET.

VENTILATION: USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION WHICH IS ADEQUATE TO LIMIT PERSONAL EXPOSURE TO LEVELS WHICH DO NOT EXCEED THE PEL OR TLV. IF SUCH EQUIPEMTN IS NOT AVAILABLE, USE RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED ABOVE.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN CONTACT IS LIKELY.

EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES ARE RECOMMENDED.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: NA

MSDS NUMBER: M6000

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: MAINTAIN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION OF DUST. USE CLEAN-UP METHODS WHICH MINIMIZE DUST GENERATION SUCH AS VACCUMING OR WET CLEAN-UP. IF AIRBORNE DUST IS GENERATED, USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING AND AT END OF THE WORK SHIFT. DO NOT SHAKE CLOTHING OR OTHER ITEMS TO REMOVE DUST. USE A VACUUM. AVOID DUST INHALATION AND DIRECT SKIN CONTACT. DO NOT INGEST.
