Hazard statements
Suggested hazard statements: Very toxic to aquatic life (H400). Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects (H410). Causes serious eye irritation (H319). May cause respiratory irritation (H335). Causes skin irritation (H315). 2
Precautionary statements
Avoid release to the environment (P273). Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection (P280). Avoid breathing dust (P261). Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed (P403 + P233). 2.2
2.3 Other hazards
Nano ZnO, as a powder, during handling can form dust. Catalytically active zinc oxide dust is more toxic when treated with ultraviolet light. Aside from these considerations, Zinc oxide dust is considered to be of low toxicity and is classified as a nuisance particulate by the ACGIH. However, inhalation fumes or very fine dust may causes "zinc fume fever", which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, coughing, weakness, fatigue, muscular pain, and nausea, followed by fever and chills. Onset of symptoms occurs about 4-12 hours after exposure.
