Combustible Dust
Hazard statements
Class 2B eye irritant. May cause breathing difficulties if inhaled. May create a flash fire or explosion hazard if dust of certain particle size is suspended in air at sufficient concentration in a confined space and exposed to an ignition source
Precautionary statements
May be mechanical eye irritant. Rinse eyes with water for several minutes. Avoid breathing dust. Excessive inhalation may affect nose, throat and lungs. Dust may burn if suspended in air and may create a flash fire/explosion hazard. Avoid ignition sources. Emergency Overview: May be mechanical irritant to eyes. Excessive inhalation may affect nose, throat and lungs. May form combustible dust concentration in air. See “Explosion Hazard” below. Explosion Hazard: Soybean meal is generally considered nonhazardous, but dust generated through downstream activities that may reduce its particle size (e.g. shipping, handling, transfer to bins, etc.) and may create a hazardous condition. If exposed to an ignition source, dust may burn. Airborne dust in sufficient concentrations when exposed to an ignition source may flash or, in a confined situation, may fuel an explosion.
