Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Approved dust
respirator, rubber or plastic-coated gloves, chemical goggles or face shield; Symptoms Following
Exposure: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes burning pain in
throat and stomach; mucous membranes become white; may also cause vomiting, weak pulse,
cardiovascular collapse, and death. Contact with dust irritates eyes and skin; may cause severe skin
burns; General Treatment for Exposure: (treat victim promptly) INHALATION: move to fresh air; get
medical attention if any symptoms persist. INGESTION: give immediately a dilute solution of any
soluble calcium salt such as calcium lactate, lime water, chalk, or milk; induce vomiting; get medical
attention. (Watch for edema of the glottis and delayed constriction of esophagus.) EYES: flush with
water and get medical attention. SKIN: flush with water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit
Value): 1 mg/m3 (as iron); Short-TennZnhalation Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Data
not available; Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (&) Irritant Characteristics: Data not
