Additional information
None. Specific hazards Non-combustible as supplied. Hot dross dust (above 1290'F or 700'C) may ignite readily. Explosion/fire hazards may be present when (See Sections 5, 7 and 1O for additional information): • Dross is heated above 1290°F (700°C). • Small chunks, dust or fines in contact with water can generate flammable or toxic gases. These gases could present an explosion hazard in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. • Molten metal in contact with water/moisture or certain metal oxides (e.g., rust, copper oxide). Direct contact: Can cause severe irritation of the eyes and of the skin. Dust Can cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Health effects of additional compounds which may be formed on contact with water: Contact with water can generate ammonia, phosphine, hydrogen and ammonia. Vapors: Can cause severe irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Acute overexposures: Can cause difficulty breathing and the accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
