SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

In solid form, this substance is not classified as hazardous. 2.2.1 This material is stable under most conditions and presents minimal risk in the solid form as shipped, but thermal decomposition can create toxic vapors, gases, or fumes. 2.2.2 Abrasion, grinding, cutting, melting, welding, or other operations which reduce the particle size of the material will change the hazard classification of the product. 2.2.3 Reduction of the product into a dust or fume can create an explosion hazard if the dust or fume becomes airborne in the presence of a spark or ignition source. 2.2.4 This material as a dust or fume poses a health hazard when inhaled and / or ingested. 2.3 Unknown Acute Toxicity No data available on inhalation acute toxicity. CDC (ASTDR) has established a minimal risk level for ingested copper at 0.01 mg/kg/day for acute oral exposure (1-14 days).
