SECTION 6. Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Advice for non-emergency personnel:


Avoid inhalation of dusts. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, and consult an
expert.

Inhalation: Very high concentrations of salt dust may result in inflammations of the mucus membranes of
the respiratory tract.

Skin Contact: Dry salt and concentrated solutions can cause withdrawal of fluid from the skin and may,
on prolonged contact, produce irritation.

Eye Contact: Salt and salt solutions are not toxic to the eye but concentrations much above that of tears
cause a stinging sensation.

Ingestion: Acute and chronic toxic effects can result from the ingestion of excessive amounts of either
salt or brine. Salt should not be used as an emetic to induce vomiting. High concentrations produce
inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and
collapse. The ingestion of hypertonic solutions can cause fatal disturbance of body electrolyte and fluid
balance particularly in the young and elderly. Less than a tablespoon of salt may severely poison an infant
and sometimes prove fatal.

Personal precautions: Avoid prolonged contact with the skin and inhalation of dust concentrations,
otherwise normal good handling and housekeeping practice is adequate. No special protective clothing is
required.

An eyewash bottle with clean water should be made available.

Spillages: Spillages should be swept up under normal circumstances

Advice for emergency responders:


Protective equipment see sections 5 & 8.

6.2 Environmental precautions


Do not let product enter drains.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up


Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions. Take up dry.
Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.

Additional Information.....…………... Not available

Section 05 - Fire Fighting Measures

Conditions of Flammability………..... Potential combustible hazard. Powdered material may form explosive
dust-air mixture, which can be ignited by a spark heat or flame. Powdered
form is self-heating and may catch fire. Dry activated carbon burns slowly
in air hotter than 450°C. Organic impurities lower the autoignition
temperature and increase the ignition hazard. Powdered dry activated
carbon accumulates static charge. When evaluating the dust explosion
hazard of a specific process or sample of material, the important factors
to consider include: particle size and shape, dust concentration, the
nature of any impurities, oxygen concentration, humidity, and extent of
containment. Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air and can
lower the concentration of oxygen inside vessels containing carbon and
other confined spaces. During a fire, toxic gases are generated.
Means of Extinction........…………..... Small fires: Carbon dioxide dry chemical powder,sand.
Large fires: regular foam.

NOTE: Violent steam generation and frothing may occur on direct


application of water stream.
Flash Point....………………………….. Not applicable.

Auto-ignition Temperature………….. ~ 300°C [Depends on particle size and physical form.]

Upper Flammable Limit ……………... Not applicable.


Page 3 of 8

Lower Flammable Limit...……….…... Not applicable.

Hazardous Combustible Products.... Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Contact with strong oxidizers
(ozone, liquid oxygen) may cause rapid combustion. Other material
adsorbed onto the carbon may also be released.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures...... Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective
clothing.

Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air and can lower the
concentration of oxygen inside vessels containing carbon and other
confined spaces. During a fire, toxic gases are generated.

Explosion Hazards………………….... Airborne dust may create an explosion hazard.

Section 06 - Accidental Release Measures

Leak / Spill................….……………... Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ventilate area. Stop or
reduce leak if safe to do so. Prevent material from entering sewers. Notify
safety personnel for large spills. Avoid generation of dust. Collect solid for
recovery or disposal. Personnel involved in clean up need protection
against skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust or mist. Vacuum or
shovel spilled material and place in closed, labeled container for proper
disposal.

Deactivating Materials...……….….... Not available

Section 07 - Handling and Storage

Handling Procedures.......…………... Use in a well ventilated area. Use proper equipment for lifting and
transporting all containers. Use sensible industrial hygiene and
housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid all
situations that could lead to harmful exposure. Avoid inhalation of dust
and prolonged contact with skin and eyes.

Storage Requirements......……...…... Store in a sealed container in a clean, dry, well ventilated area away from
strong oxidizers, strong acids, ignition sources, combustible materials, and
heat.

Section 08 - Personal Protection and Exposure Controls
