SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential health effects

– Prolonged over exposure to carbon dust can produce skin and eye irritation. Prolonged inhalation can cause irritation of mucus membranes. (See Sections IV & XI) HMIS INDEX HMIS Index details are as follows, HEALTH 0 FLAMMABILITY 1 REACTIVITY 0 PPE E GHS CLASSIFICATION NOTE: Health effects comments refer to the pure component knowing that the concentration on the carbon is significantly less than 100%

Hazard pictograms

Hazard / Category Warning Respiratory Irritation Category 3 Dust causes respiratory, skin and eye irritation. Eye Irritation 2A Prolonged or repeated inhalation or ingestion can cause irritation of mucous membranes. Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe hazard to workers in enclosed or confined space.

Prevention

Avoid generation of dust during handling. The dust or fines may be more susceptible to catalytic reaction than the large mesh product. Avoid breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use in a well ventilated area. Avoid release to environment.

Response

IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Seek medical attention for any breathing difficulty. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. CONTACT WITH SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse cautiously with soap and water for several minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. IF INGESTED: Drink a large volume of water; seek medical attention.

Storage

Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Container Labeling Carbon Activated Corp. has added GHS classification information to this SDS document. However, changes to container labeling have not been implemented. Changes to container labels will be made in accordance to the requirements which will be defined by OSHA’s revision to the Hazard Communication Standard once final adoption of rule is approved and released. Labels will be provided that include a signal word, pictogram, hazard statement, and precautionary statement for each hazard class and category. INGREDIENTS: Chemical Name (CAS#) % PEL(OSHA) TLV(ACGIH) Other Carbon* ( 7440-44-0) 100 N/A *ACGIH (TWA) for reparable dust is 2.5 mg/m3 There are no established PEL, TWA or TLV values for this material. Caution should be taken for respirable dust. The product has no known carcinogenic properties. Non-Hazardous components are recorded at 3% or >; Acute hazards are recorded when present at 1% or >; Chronic hazards are recorded when present at 0.01% or >. This is not intended to be a comprehensive compositional disclosure. SECTION IV EMERGENCY FIRST AID MEASURES: In ease off ingestion do not induce vomiting. Dilute by giving water or milk. Seek medical attention. In case of inhalation remove to fresh air. Administer first aid as appropriate. Seek medical attention. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists seek medical attention. In case of eye contact flush with lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. Lift upper and lower eye lids occasionally. Seek medical attention.
