Section 3. Hazards Identification

 

Emergency Overview Odorless, very fine, blue, gray, or white powder. Zinc dust reacts with water evolving hydrogen. The heat of the reaction may ignite the hydrogen.

 

Potential Health Effects

            Eye:     May cause irritation.

            Skin:    May cause irritation. Repeated skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin

condition) and/or sensitivity of the skin.

Inhalation:       Exposure to dust levels exceeding the PEL (see Section 8) may irritate the nose, throat,

and upper respiratory system.

            Signs and Symptoms:

·       Eyes: Redness, Tearing, Possible burns

·       Skin: Redness, Swelling, Possible burns

·       Inhalation: Discomfort of the nose and throat, headache, fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea, and tiredness. These symptoms may persist for 6 to 24 hours.

            Eyes:   Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical

                        attention.

            Skin:    Remove contaminated clothing. Brush off excess powder with a dry towel. Wash affected area with

plenty of soap and water for several minutes. If skin irritation develops or persists, seek medical

attention.

            Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give

Mercury Sorbent Powder                                                                                                                            

            Flash Point: Not Tested

Flammable Limits: Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): 13.6 g/ft³ Upper Explosive Limit: NA

            Auto-ignition Temperature: NA

Extinguishing Media:  Rock dust or dry sand

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:       For large fires or fires in confined areas, full emergency equipment with

self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be

used. Dry zinc dust will not ignite spontaneously, but once ingnited, it may burn readily in air. Thermal decomposition of this product may produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Avoid breathing or generating airborne dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If unused material is spilled, collect by sweeping, shoveling or vacuuming and recycle the material for use . If this product is mixed with other materials, see Section 13.

Store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with materials listed in Section 10. Keep away from flammable materials and sources of heat or flame.

            Exposure Limits: None specifically established for this product; treat as a nuisance dust as defined in 29 CFR

                                    1910.1000.

OSHA PEL:    Total Zinc Dust is 15 mg/M³.

                        Respirable Fraction, Zinc Dust, is 5mg/M³.

 

ACGIH TLV is 10mg/M³.

 

The end-user must determine the specific types of personal protective equipment needed according to 29 CFR 1910.132—Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry. The following are only suggestions:

·      Eyes: Safety glasses or goggles

·      Skin: Suitable chemically resistant gloves and protective clothing
