Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Dust respirator if
required, rubber apron and boots, chemical worker’s goggles or face shield; Symptoms Following
Exposure: Inhalation of dust may irritation nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and
stomach. Dust irritates eyes. Prolonged contact with skin causes irritation and burns; General
Treatment for Exposure: INGESTION: give large amounts of water; induce vomiting if large amounts
have been swallowed. EYES: immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 min.; get medical
attention promptly. SKIN: flush with water; Toxicity by Inhalation (ThresholdLimit Value): 1 mglm’
(as iron); Short-Tern Inhalation Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2, LD,, 0.5-5
