Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated to decomposition, the smoke tubes will emit chloride fume. Page 2 of 3 PART VII, Spill, Leak & Disposal Procedures Spills Procedure: Does not apply.
Disposal
Procedure Soak used tubes in water and neutralize the water with sodium carbonate or equivalent alkaline substance. Dispose tubes via landfill. Consult local authorities to assure compliance with local, state and federal regulations for small scale disposal of tin compounds. PART VIII, Special Protection Information Protective Equipment: No respiratory protection is required during normal use as an HVAC air flow indicator except in tight spaces. Local ventilation is adequate as long as the smoke can be avoided. Safety glasses with side shields should be worn to minimize eye contact. Safety gloves are not necessary for normal use, although skin contact with HCI and the broken glass tubes should be avoided.
