HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Potential Health Effects: INHALATION: Negligible unless heated to produce vapors. Vapors or finely misted materials may irritate the mucous membranes and cause irritation, dizziness, and nausea. Remove to fresh air. EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation. Irrigate eye with water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated contact is not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Material is sometimes encountered at elevated temperatures. Thermal burns are possible. INGESTION: No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure. ___________________________________________________________________ 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: May cause irritation characterized by burning sensation, redness, tearing, or inflammation. Irrigate eyes with a heavy stream of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. SKIN: May cause irritation. Wash exposed areas of the body with soap and water. INHALATION: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Remove from area of exposure; seek medical attention if symptoms persist. INGESTION: May cause irritation of digestive tract. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. If gastro-intestinal symptoms develop, consult medical personnel. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.) ___________________________________________________________________ 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point >148° C (300° F) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire usually dry chemical or carbon dioxide. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be heavier than air and may spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. ___________________________________________________________________ 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES SPILLS: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. clay, vermiculite, sand or earth). Product is completes biodegradable and environmentally safe for humans, animals and plants. Product makes a great plant fertilizer.
