4. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:
These products are black to grey powders with a slight odour. Activated carbon can adsorb oxygen from the
air, allowing for the possibility of asphyxiation. Never enter a confined space containing activated carbon.
Flammable only in open flame, burns slowly.

Eyes Non corrosive, but like most particulate materials, may cause mild
physical irritation.
Ojos
Skin Not corrosive, and not primary skin irritant. Mild irritation is possible
due to abrasive action of dust.
Ingestion Not Known deleterious effects.

Possible mild irritation of respiratory tract due to drying and abrasive

Inhalation action of dust.

5. First Aid Measures

Skin Contact: Wash material off the skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.
Eyes Contact: Flush with copious amounts of water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.
Ingestion: Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Seek medical attention if gastrointestinal
symptoms develop.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if cough and respiratory symptoms develop.

6. Fire-Fighting Measures
Material will burn in a fir, releasing combustion products of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water.
Other material adsorbed on to the media may also be released in combustion.

Extinguishing Media: Water fog, fire fighting foam, or carbon dioxide.

8. Accidental release measures

Contain spillage and sweep or vacuum spilled material into an appropriate container. Care should be taken
to avoid generation of dust. Personal protection equipment discussed in Section 10 should be utilized to
protect from inhalation and skin contact.

9. Storage and handling

Store in a cool, dry location. Keep containers tightly closed to avoid contact with air and humidity.
Use in areas of adequate ventilation and avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes / skin.
Ingredients in this product are considered nuisance particulates not otherwise classified; OSHA and ACGIH
guidelines should be followed in controlling exposure limits to any dust generated from these products.

Waste Disposal:
This product is not a hazardous waste under U.S. RCRA, 40CFR261. Comply with all Federal, State and Local
regulations regarding disposal. Individual customers must evaluate used product for content of toxic

materials adsorbed onto the media in their process, which warrant special waste disposal considerations. It
is the responsibility of the end user to comply with such considerations and regulations.

10. Exposure Control/Personal Protection

Engineering measures to reduce exposure: Ensure adequate ventilation. Use local exhaust if misting occurs.
Natural ventilation is adequate in absence of mists.

Personal protection equipment:

Respiratory protection: Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator where dust occurs. Provide adequate local
exhaust ventilation in areas of frequent handling / dust generation. Any dusting is classified as a nuisance
dust and appropriate measures to comply with OSHA and ACGIH limits in Section 3 of this MSDS should be
taken.
Eye protection: Use safety glasses or goggles as necessary to prevent eye contact.
Skin protection: Use safety gloves and coveralls as necessary to prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact.

11. Stability and reactivity

Stability:
Conditions to avoid:
Hazardous Polymerization
Stable.
Strong oxidizing agents such as nitric or perchloric acid. Other materials
adsorbed onto this product represent health hazards, reactivity hazards,
and /or the generation of hazardous decomposition products. The user
must take consideration of these concentrations of chemicals having high
heats of adsorption and concentrated acids.
Will not occur.
