2.3 Other hazards
The product may have the following additional risks: Improper handling of the product may cause it to explode and this may lead to injuries due to projection of particles. These products may detonate in masse by shock, friction, fire, sparks, electrostatic discharges or sympathetic explosions, causing great surge pressure and heat. This can cause serious physical injuries and even death. Resulting fumes from the detonation or combustion are toxic and contain nitrogen oxides, (NOX) and odourless and colourless carbon oxides (CO and CO2). The symptoms caused by exposure to toxic fumes from the detonation are: headaches, nausea, fatigue, confusions and fainting. Inhalation can irritate the respiratory system and cause bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even, in severe cases, pulmonary edema and death. Blasting of rocks can cause large fragments, in unstable positions, with risks of breaking off and flying parts. IMPORTANT: Do not use this product in work sites that contain or may contain flammable gases or powders. IMPORTANT: Surface and inside blasting can cause residual smoke to go through the subsoil to confined spaces (including tunnels, wells, basements, etc.) where it can accumulate and remain for a long time. If you have to enter them after an explosion, always follow the rules for entering confined spaces and check for the presence of toxic fumes before entering.
