SECTION 6 - HEALTH
HAZARD DATA
General: No toxicity data is available.
Physical and chemical properties of activated carbon are
used for the health hazard assessment. Carcinogenicity:
Activated carbon is not listed in the National Toxicology
Program (NTP) Annual report on carcinogens nor has it been
found to be a potential carcinogen in the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) monographs or by OSHA.
Ingestion: The acute oral LD50 values are not available.
Relative to other materials, a single dose of this product
is relatively harmless by ingestion. Hodge, H.C. and
Sterner, J.H., American Industrial Hygiene Association
Quarterly, 10:4, 93, Dec. 1949
Eye Contact: This
material will probably cause some mild physical irritation
if contact is made with human eyes.
Skin Contact:
This material is not likely to be a primary irritant on
human skin; it has a low potential for sensitization after
skin contact.
Skin Absorption: This product is not
known to be absorbed through the skin.
Inhalation:
Acute toxic effects are not likely to develop after
inhalation from this material.
Effect of
Overexposure: No adverse clinical effects have been
associated with exposures to this material.
Skin:
Wash material off the skin with water and soap. If redness,
itching or a burning sensation develops, get medical
attention.
Eyes: Immediately flush with copious
amounts of water. If redness, itching or a burning sensation
develops, have eyes examined and treated by medical
personnel.
Ingestion: Give one or two glasses of
water to drink. If gastrointestinal symptoms develop,
consult medical personnel. (Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person.)
Inhalation: Remove victim to
fresh air. If cough or other respiratory symptoms develop,
consult medical personnel.
SECTION 7 - SPILL, LEAK,
AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Steps to be taken in case
material is released or spilled: Wear respiratory protection
during clean-up. Sweep up and recover or mix material with
water and shovel into waste container. Wash down spill area
with water containing detergent and flush away with plenty
of water.
Disposal Method: Dispose of virgin (unused)
carbon (waste or spillage) in a facility for non-hazardous
wastes.
Container Disposal: Do not reuse empty
container. Dispose of normal waste removal methods.
SECTION 8 – SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
TLV or
Suggested Control Value: The current OSHA and ACGIH limit
for dusts which contain more than 1% quartz are as follows
for steam activated coal based carbons:
Respirable
Dust Limit = 0.7 mg/m3 (OSHA & ACGIH)
Total Dust Limit =
2.1 mg/m3 (OSHA)
Total Dust Limit = 2.0 mg/m3 (ACGIH)
Ventilation: Provide adequate general and local exhaust
ventilation to meet suggested control value requirements.
Respiratory Protection: If needed, use MSHA-NIOSH
approved respirator for dusts, mists and fumes whose TLV is
greater than 0.05 mg/m3.
Eye Protection: Safety
glasses with side shields. Contact lenses should not be worn
when working with activated carbon.
Other Protective
Equipment: Eyewash station in work area.
SECTION 9 -
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions To Be Taken For
Handling And Storing: Activated carbon can be safely stored
in any normal storage area, but away from sources of direct
heat. Any oxygen deficiency may be created when activated
carbon is stored in an enclosed space. Ventilate or wear
self-containtained breathing apparatus.
