| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Dust can cause slight to mild irritation of eyes, skin, and nasal cavity. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Dust inhalation. |
| Eye Contact: | Dust may cause mild to moderate irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Direct contact with metal, or dust, if present, may cause slight irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of fine dust may be irritating to the nasal cavity, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | No specific information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Equivocal tumorigenic agent by RTECS criteria in high dose animal studies- Lungs, Thorax. |

| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |

| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Flammable solid. Dust may form explosive mixtures with air. Evolves flammable hydrogen with steam. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | In the case of a spill, the material should be covered with dry soda ash, limestone, or sand. Place in open container. Flammable hydrogen evolution may occur if wet. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form a fine dust. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
