6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES OCCUPATIONAL
RELEASE: Shovel
dry material into suitable container. Flush spill area with water, if
appropriate. Keep out of water supplies
and sewers. Releases should be reported, if required, to appropriate agencies. ________________________________________________________________________________________ SECTION
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE STORAGE:
Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and
standards. Keep container properly labeled
and tightly closed. Keep dry. Keep separated from incompatible substances. HANDLING:
Use methods to minimize dust. Wash if needed. SECTION
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION EXPOSURE
LIMITS: NUISANCE
PARTICULATES (NUISANCE DUST): 5
mg/m3 OSHA TWA (respirable dust fraction) 15
mg/m3 OSHA TWA (total dust) 10
mg/m3 ACGIH TWA (inhalable particulate) 3
mg/m3 ACGIH TWA (respirable particulate) VENTILATION:
Provide local exhaust ventilation where vapor may be generated. Ensure
compliance with applicable
exposure limits. EYE
PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields. An emergency eye wash
fountain may be provided. CLOTHING:
Wear appropriate clothing to minimize skin contact. GLOVES:
Wear appropriate gloves. PROTECTIVE
MATERIAL TYPES: latex, leather, nitrile, neoprene, rubber, Tyvek(R) RESPIRATOR:
A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 filters may be permissible under
certain circumstances
where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when
symptoms have been
observed that are indicative of overexposure. A
half face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to
10X the acceptable exposure level and
a full face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to
50X the acceptable exposure Supplied
air should be used when the level is expected to be above 50X the acceptable
level, or when there is a potential
for uncontrolled release. A
respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed
whenever workplace conditions
warrant use of a respirator. ________________________________________________________________________________________ SECTION

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION TOXICITY
DATA: >10 gm/kg oral-rat LD50; >10 gm/kg skin-rabbit LD50
(estimated). Inhalation may cause irritation
to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May cause sneezing and coughing.
Contact with eyes
or skin causes irritation. When heated to decomposition, emits irritating zinc
oxide fumes. ________________________________________________________________________________________ SECTION
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ECOTOXICITY
DATA: FISH
TOXICITY: This material is believed to be non-toxic to aquatic
organisms. FATE
AND TRANSPORT: BIODEGRADATION:
No data available. PERSISTENCE:
Zinc borate can decompose, under certain environmental conditions to
form sparingly water soluble
zinc hydroxide and water soluble boric acid. BIOCONCENTRATION:
This material is not believed to bioconcentrate. OTHER
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Both Boron (B) and Zinc (Zn) occur naturally in
seawater at average
concentrations of 5 mg/L B and 8 mcg/L Zn. Boron is an essential micronutrient
for healthy growth of plants;
however it can be harmful to boron sensitive plants in high quantities. Care
should be taken to minimize the
amount released to the environment. Zinc borate is sparingly soluble in water
and may be leachable through normal
soil. ________________________________________________________________________________________ SECTION
