3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
--------------------------
CAUTION! MAY IRRITATE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing
and shortness of breath. Inhalation can cause a flu-like illness (metal fume
fever). This 24- to 48-hour illness is characterized by chills, fever, aching
muscles, dryness in the mouth and throat and headache.
Ingestion:
Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Skin Contact:
Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure.
Eye Contact:
Not expected to be a health hazard.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with a pre-existing heart condition or impaired respiratory function
may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:
If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation
develops.
Eye Contact:
Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode. Zinc oxide fume may be released when
heated.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
Zinc oxide:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
fume: 5 mg/m3 (TWA)
respirable fraction: 5 mg/m3 (TWA)
total dusts: 15 mg/m3 (TWA)
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
2 mg/m3 (TWA), 10 mg/m3 (STEL), Respirable fraction
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): Iron oxide fume: 10 ppm.
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
Iron oxide dust and fume (Fe2O3) as Fe: 5 mg/m3 (TWA) respirable fraction of
particulate matter; - A4 Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at
its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be
worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration
specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100
filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies
or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
