resistance, dust concentration and length of exposure. Symptoms of silicosis include phlegm, coughing,
and characteristic x-rays.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
None
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
:
Any. Use media appropriate for surrounding fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Fire hazard
:
Not flammable.
Reactivity
:
Not reactive under normal use and conditions.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protection during firefighting
:
Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and structural firefighters’ protective
clothing will provide adequate protection.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
General measures
:
Evacuate area. Ensure adequate air ventilation.
6.1.1. For non-emergency personnel
Emergency procedures
:
Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
6.1.2. For emergency responders
Protective equipment
:
Equip clean-up crew with proper protection.
Emergency procedures
:
Stay upwind. Ventilate area.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning-up
For containment
:
Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Contain/dike material for later disposal. Do not touch or walk
through spilled material.
Methods for cleaning up
:
Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or
confined areas. If necessary (to allow for easy clean-up), absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other
non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
In dry/powder state, completely remove dusts to prevent recirculation of crystalline silica. For small spills,
clean with a vacuum with a filtration system sufficient to remove and prevent dust recirculation. For large
spills, use a fine spray or mist to control dust creation and carefully scoop or shovel into clean, dry
container for later reuse or disposal. DO NOT USE DRY SWEEPING OR COMPRESSED AIR TO
CLEAN SPILLS.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Additional hazards when processed
:
Combustion may produce carbon monoxide and other harmful substances.
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid dust, mist, and spray inhalation. DO NOT use compressed air or dry sweeping to remove dust from
work area. Dusts should be removed using an appropriately equipped vacuum. If an appropriate vacuum
is unavailable, only wet-clean-up methods should be used (i.e. wet sweeping, misting, etc.). Moisture
should be added as necessary to reduce exposure to airborne respirable dust.
Hygiene measures
:
Practice good housekeeping. Wash thoroughly after handling. Change contaminated clothing. Do not
reuse until laundered. Do not take silica contaminated clothing home.
