Disposal

P501: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with all local/regional/national/international regulations. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Light colored powder IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Lime is commonly a light colored powder that poses little immediate hazard. A single short term exposure to the dry powder is not likely to cause serious harm. However, exposure of sufficient duration to wet lime can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical (caustic) burns. The same type of tissue destruction can occur if wet or moist areas of the body are exposed for sufficient duration to dry lime.

Potential health effects

EYES: Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. I contact by large amounts of dry powder or splashes of what lime may cause effects ranging from moderate to eye irritation to chemical burns or blindness. SKIN: Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to hazardous skin exposure. Consequently, the only effective means of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly with wet lime. Exposed persons may not feel disconfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant injury has occurred. May cause skin irritation. INGESTION: Can burn mouth, throat and stomach. INHALATION: Exposure to lime may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose. CARCINOGENICITY: Lime is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may, however, contain trace amouints of substances listed as carcinogens by these organizations. Crystalline silica, a contaminate in lime, is now classified by IARC as a known human carcinogen (Group I). NTP has characterized respirable silica as "reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogen".

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Persons with existing pulmonary disorders must avoid breathing any dust generated during the use of this product. CANCER STATEMENT: This product contains trace amounts of crystalline silica which is classified by IARC and NTP as known human carcinogen.
