Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency overview: This product presents a moderate ingestion and inhalation
hazard, with no unusual fire or spill hazards. 

Appearance: Copper brown capsules.

Flash Point: None.   

 
Warning!  

Target Organs: Mucous membranes (chronic), nervous system (chronic).

Potential Health Effects

Eye: May cause irritation; fragments in cornea may cause cataracts.

Skin: May cause irritation; potential 'flu-like' symptoms

Ingestion: Ingestion may lead to moderate irritation of stomach lining or
irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Ingestion may also cause headaches, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, chills, fever, or aching muscles.

Inhalation: Inhalation poses a low immediate health risk.

Chronic: Chronic overexposure may cause anemia, "lead line" on gums, potential
damage to the nervous system, or atrophic changes in mucous membranes. Acute
overexposure can results in "metal fume fever" with flu-like symptoms lasting for
1-2 days.



Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention.

Skin: Wash contaminated areas with soap and water. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Provide oxygen if breathing is
difficult or labored. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Notes to Physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.


Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: Always wear full protective equipment including self 
containing breathing apparatus with full-face protection and respirator set to
positive pressure.

Auto Ignition Temperature: N/A

Flash Point: None.

Flammability: Non-flammable.

Hazardous Combustion Products: N/A

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: N/A

Extinguishing Media: Dry sand or other inert material.

Special Protective Measures: None needed.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Spills/Leaks: Wear appropriate protective equipment, including safety goggles
and NIOSH/MSHA dust respirator. Contain the spill and avoid raising dust particles. 
Cover spill with a damp sand and place in an approved disposal container.

Disposal Procedure: According to all local, state, and federal regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Handling: Always wear protective equipment appropriate to the task. Always 
use adequate ventilation, and avoid generating dust clouds. Avoid breathing dust
particles. 


Storage: Store in a dry, cool place, in closed containers, away from heat 
and acids. Keep out of the reach of children.


Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Local exhaust at a minimum face velocity of 60 fpm
should be employed. Safety shower and eye wash stations should be readily 
available in work area.
