4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
----INGESTION: Not a normal route of exposure. Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal distur-
bances. Symptoms may include salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
----INHALATION: Dust may cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract. Excessive exposure above the
TLV can cause mild pulmonary irritation.
----EYE CONTACT: Will result in no specific effects other then mechanical irritation due to abrasion.
----SKIN CONTACT: Not absorbed by the body, irritation may occur by mechanical abrasion.
SPECIAL TOXIC EFFECTS: Prolonged and repeated inhalation of iron dust may result in
siderosis or "iron pigmentation". Siderosis is considered to be a benign condition and does not appear to progress
to fibrosis. It generally requires 6-10 years of exposure. Little or no change is found upon physical examination.
5. FIRST AID
----INGESTION: Give large amounts of water to induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
----INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if the victim is not breathing. Seek
medical attention with any breathing difficulties.
----EYE CONTACT: Flush thoroughly for 15 minutes with running water. Seek medical attention
----SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash area with soap and water.

8. HANDLING AND STORAGE
----STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Ambient
----SHELF LIFE: Unlimited
----STORAGE PRESSURE: Atmospheric
----GENERAL: Avoid excessive moisture, which causes material to clump.
9. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----GENERAL: Refer to local, state, or federal regulations for specific disposal information. Pursuant to 40 CFR
Part 261 of the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations currently in effect, discarded iron
oxide would not be classified as a hazardous waste.
----LAND SPILL: Vacuum or scoop up spilled material for recovery or disposal, avoid dusting conditions and use
good ventilation. Wetting the spill area with water spray may help reduce airborne dust levels.
----WATER SPILL: Product is inert and stable. Decomposition nor polymerization will occur.
10. EXPOSURE CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
----ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering con-
trols to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined
spaces.
----PERSONAL PROTECTION:
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or dust tight goggles.
SKIN PROTECTION: Gloves appropriate for the job conditions.
RESPIRATOR: If exposure limits are exceeded, use an appropriate NIOSH dust respirator.
