reactivity data
V. health hazard data Exposure Limits: Refer to Section II which highlights the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). This
limit is published and enforced by OSHA as a legal standard. Most PELs are expressed as eight
hour average airborne concentrations. The nuisance dust exposure standard should be followed. If
exceeded, then the appropriate respiratory protection equipment should be worn.
Acute and Chronic Toxicity: Exposure to and contact from dust may irritate the respiratory system,
eyes, or skin. Coal slag is not listed on the NTP, IARC, or OSHA list of carcinogens. If ingested it may
cause nausea and vomiting.

First Aid:
V. health hazard data
1. Eye Contact- Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water or an ophthalmic saline solution.*
continued 2. Skin Contact- Wash skin with soap and water if irritation occurs.*
3. Inhalation- Remove affected person(s) to fresh air source.*
4. Oral intake- Rinse mouth out with water.*
*Note: If symptoms persist, contact a physician or other medical personnel.
Respirator Protection: If airborne concentrations exceed recommended exposure limits, a suitable
VI. control measures
NIOSH/MSHA approved filter respirator should be worn. General ventilation or local exhaust is
normally adequate to control dust emissions, if not engineering controls should be utilized.
Eye: Safety glasses with side shields should be worn as minimum protection from impact. Dust
goggles should be worn when excessively dusty conditions are present or anticipated.
General: The use of hard hats and hard toe shoes is recommended. Gloves may be worn to protect
from abrasion as well as long sleeve shirts to minimize dermal exposure and potential skin irritation.
No special procedures required for clean-up, but it is recommended that this is done mechanically
VII. spill, leak, and
or through the use of hand tools. Wetting with water will reduce any airborne dust. Uncontaminated
disposal Procedures product does not exceed Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) limits and may be
disposed of as an inert material in an appropriate solid waste landfill according to applicable
Federal, State and Local regulations.
Breathing dust containing silica could cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease.
VIII. silicosis Warning
Breathing dust during blasting operations, post-blast cleaning operations, and/
or servicing equipment within the blasting area may expose an individual to conditions that could
cause asbestosis, lead poisoning and/or other serious or fatal diseases. Harmful dust containing
toxic material from abrasives or surfaces being blasted can remain suspended in the air for long
periods of time after blasting has ceased. A NIOSH-approved, well-maintained, respirator designed
for the specific operation being performed must be used by anyone blasting, handling or using the
abrasive, and anyone in the area of the dust. Failure to comply with the above warning could result
in death or serious injury.
You must comply with all OSHA, local, City, State, Province, Country and
jurisdiction regulations, ordinances and standards, related to your particular
work area and environment. Keep unprotected individuals out of the work area. Failure to comply
with the above warning could result in death or serious injury.
