3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EU Main Hazards
Not classified as hazardous.
Routes of Entry
- Eye contact - Skin contact - Inhalation.
Carcinogenic Status
Not considered carcinogenic by NTP, IARC, and OSHA.
Target Organs
- Eye - Skin - Respiratory Tract.
Health Effects - Eyes
Contact may cause conjunctival irritation.
Health Effects - Skin
Material may cause irritation.
Health Effects - Ingestion
May cause irritation to gastrointestinal tract.
Health Effects - Inhalation
Exposure to dusts at high concentrations may cause irritation of nose throat and respiratory tract.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain medical attention if soreness or
redness persists.
Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur or
redness persists.
Ingestion
Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. Never administer anything by mouth if a victim is losing
consciousness, is unconscious or is convulsing. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Advice to Physicians
Treat Symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
This product may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire. Heavy carbon dust in air presents a dust explosion hazard.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

This product may be collected by carefully scooping into a pan, paper towel or other absorbent material. 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. Transfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid buildup of static charge in handling equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on
clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - away from incompatible materials (see section
10 for materials to avoid).
Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe hazard (oxygen deficient atmosphere) to workers inside carbon
vessels and enclosed or confined spaces. Establish Confined Space Entry Protocols before entering.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational Exposure Standards
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
Activated Carbon
ACGIH TLV: Graphite, all forms except graphite fibers: 2 mg/m3 (TWA). OSHA Permissible. Exposure Limits (PELs): activated carbon
(graphite, synthetic): total particulate = 15 mg/m3 (TWA), respirable fraction = 5 mg/m3 (TWA). UK TWA: 4 mg/m3.
Engineering Control Measures
Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate to control airborne levels. If conditions are dusty, use local exhaust
ventilation.
Respiratory Protection
NIOSH Approved dust respirator if conditions are dusty.
Hand Protection
Rubber gloves.
Eye Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Body Protection
Normal work wear.
