Australia Exposure Standards Cargill Australia Cottonseed Meal 4
(Grain dust (oats, wheat, barley))
MATERIAL DATA
CARGILL AUSTRALIA COTTONSEED MEAL:
■ grain dust
Exposure to grain dusts affects the upper and lower respiratory tract. Symptoms include running nose and
bronchitis. Irritant action, allergic reaction, or both, are thought to produce these symptoms. High
concentrations of the dusts are irritating to both eyes and skin and may produce "grain fever" characterised
by chest tightness and flu-like symptoms. Studies show a decline in lung function, in grain workers, exposed
to the dust over a period of six years. Inhalation of grain dusts may result in serious health effects
including occupational asthma, extrinsic alveolitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The nature of
the chemical agent(s) producing these effects is unknown but might include soils, microorganisms, pesticide
residues, naturally occurring toxins, insect parts, animal hairs, other proteins, and even small amounts of
free silica. [EH64 Summary Criteria for Occupational Exposure Limits- Health and Safety Executive, UK].

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
COTTONSEED OIL:
■ vegetable oil mists (except castor, cashew nut and similar irritant oils)
ES TWA: 10 mg/m3
The common vegetable oil mists are considered "nuisance" particulates which have little adverse effect on
the lung. They do not produce toxic effects or significant organic disease when exposures are kept under
reasonable control. Direct instillation of vegetable oils into rabbit lungs produces acute bronchitis whilst
high oral doses are laxatives.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
■ No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
- OTHERWISE:
- Safety glasses with side shields.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A
written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each
workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals
in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their
removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye
irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have
washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
■ No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
OTHER
■ No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR
■ Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone contaminant and
the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and
inside the mask) may also be important.
Breathing Zone Level Maximum Protection Half- face Respirator Full- Face Respirator

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective
equipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
■ Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when
particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
- Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the
workplace.
- If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory
protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks
- Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
- Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection
measures such as explosion venting.
APPEARANCE

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SWALLOWED
■ Considered to be non toxic.
EYE
■ Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact
with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with
windburn).
SKIN
■ The material is not thought to be a skin irritant (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Temporary discomfort, however, may result from prolonged dermal exposures. Good hygiene practice requires
that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED
■ Generated dust may be discomforting.
COTTONSEED OIL:
■ No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
Reproductive effector in rats.
COTTONSEED OIL:
■ Substances containing unsaturated carbons are ubiquitous in indoor environments. They result from many
sources (see below). Most are reactive with environmental ozone and many produce stable products which are
thought to adversely affect human health.The potential for surfaces in an enclosed space to facilitate
reactions should be considered.
Source of unsaturated substances Unsaturated substances (Reactive Major Stable Products produced
Emissions) following reaction with ozone.

Section 15 - REGULATORY INFORMATION
■ Classification of the preparation and its individual components has drawn on official and authoritative
sources as well as independent review by the Chemwatch Classification committee using available literature
references.
A list of reference resources used to assist the committee may be found at:
www.chemwatch.net/references.
■ The (M)SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk Assessment. Many factors
determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in the workplace or other settings. Risks may be determined
by reference to Exposures Scenarios. Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering
controls must be considered.
