4, FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush eye(s) with water for 30 minutes. Lift upper and lower eyelid(s) occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately
SKIN: Avoid contact with skin. Wash with soap and a large amount of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Thoroughly

Seek immediate medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Chronic overexposure may cause initation and lung damage (pneumoconiosis and Shaver's
Disease) which is complicated by ron and silica in the air. Skin sensitization may lead to chronic eczema “nickel itch’,
Lung damage is cumulative and may include cancer of the lung, nasal cavity and larynx. May cause pulmonary
eosinophilia (Loeffer's Syndrome).
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing agent applicable to surrounding fire,
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Material is not flammable.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As in any fre, wear self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand
mode, (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
‘SMALL SPILL: With shovel or scoop, place materia into clean, dry container; move containers from spill area, Minimize
airborne particulates. Protect against inhalation of dusts. Wear gloves and long sleeves. Avoid contact with skin, Use
eye protection
LARGE SPILL: Vacuuming andlor wet methods of cleanup are preferred. Keep airbome particulates to a minimum.
Protect against inhalation of dusts or fumes. Wear eye protection. Place in appropriate containers for disposal
