| 3.) HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
| Emergency Overview: | CAUTION! ACTIVATED CARBON AFFECTS THE RESPIRATORY AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS. |
| Potential Health Effects: | Inhalation: No adverse effects expected. May cause mild irritation to the respiratory tract. Ingestion: No adverse effects expected. May cause mild irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Skin Contact: Not expected to be a health hazard. May cause mild irritation and redness. Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected. May cause mild irritation, possible reddening. Chronic Exposure: Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may produce pulmonary disorders. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found. |
|
|
| 4.) FIRST AID MEASURES | |
| Inhalation: | Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. |
| Skin Contact: | Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. |
| Eye Contact: | Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. |
| Ingestion Contact: | Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice. |
|
|
| 5.) FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
| Extinguishing Media: | Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source. Activated carbon is difficult to ignite and tends to burn slowly (smolder) without producing smoke or flame. Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from the air. Materials allowed to smolder for long periods in enclosed spaces, may produce amounts of carbon monoxide which may reach the lower explosive limit for carbon monoxide of 12.5% in air. Contact with strong oxidizers such as ozone or liquid oxygen may cause rapid combustion. |
| Fire and Explosion Hazzards: | Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Minimum explosive concentration 0.140 g/l. |
| Hazardous Combustion Products: | No information found. |
| Protective Measure in Fire: | In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. |
|
|
| 6.) ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
| Personal Precaution in Spill: | Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. |
| Environment: | Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. |
| Spill Clean Up: | Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container. Warning! Spent product may have absorbed hazardous materials |
|
|
| 7.) HANDLING/STORAGE | |
| Usage Precautions: | Incompatible with Chlorates, Nitrates,Perchlorates, etc |
| Usage Descriptions: | |
| Storage Precautions: | Store away from oxidizing Substances, Store in a cool, dry area away from other combustable material as spontaneous combustion may occur in the drum |
| Handling Precautions: | Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Keep away from moisture and oxidizers. Avoid dust dispersal. Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from the air and therefore dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered in confined spaces. Work procedures for potentially low oxygen areas should be followed. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. |
|
|
| 8.) EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
| Protective Equipment: | A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. |
| Process Conditions: | - OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs): activated carbon (graphite, synthetic): total particulate = 15 mg/m3 (TWA), respirable fraction = 5 mg/m3 (TWA). - ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs): graphite, all forms except graphite fibers: 2 mg/m3 (TWA). |
| Respirators: | For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. |
| Protective Gloves: | Wear protective gloves. |
| Eye Protection: | Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
| Other Protection: | Wear clean body-covering clothing. |
| Hygienic Work Practices: | No information found. |
