This substance does not present a physical hazard. Refer to the recommendations regarding the other products

present on the site.

This substance does not present a health hazard with the exception of possible occupational exposure thresholds

(see paragraphs 3 and 8).

This substance does not present an environmental hazard. No known or foreseeable environmental damage under

standard conditions of use.

In compliance with directives 67/548/EEC, 1999/45/EC and their amendments.

This substance does not present a physical hazard. Refer to the recommendations regarding the other products

present on the site.

This substance does not present a health hazard with the exception of possible occupational exposure thresholds

(see paragraphs 3 and 8).

This substance does not present an environmental hazard. No known or foreseeable environmental damage under

standard conditions of use.

2.2. Label elements

In compliance with EC regulation No. 1272/2008 and its amendments.

No labeling requirements for this substance.

2.3. Other hazards

Wet Activated Carbon depletes oxygen from air and, therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered. Whenever workers enter a vessel containing activated carbon, the oxygen content should be determined and work procedures for potentially low oxygen areas should be followed. SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS 3.1.
PAGE 3
Suitable methods of extinction In the event of a fire, use: • foam • sprayed water or water mist • powder • carbon dioxide (CO2) Unsuitable methods of extinction In the event of a fire, do not use: • water • water jet in the closed areas, in order to avoid the water contamination. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Do not breathe in smoke.
PAGE 4
Prohibited equipment and procedures: No smoking, eating or drinking in areas where the substance is used. 7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep away from any chemical (solvents and strong oxidizers). Keep away from heat sources. Store in a well-ventilated area. Storage Store and keep away from any chemical (solvents and strong oxidizers). Storage of wet activated carbon in a closed area can deplete oxygen from air. Packaging Store in the closed, original packaging. 7.3.

Never eat, drink or smoke during use. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-using. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. - Eye / face protection Avoid contact with eyes. Before handling powders or dust emission, wear mask goggles in accordance with standard EN166. - Hand protection Wear suitable protective gloves in the event of prolonged or repeated skin contact. - Body protection Work clothing worn by personnel shall be laundered regularly.

12.2. Persistence and degradability Activated Carbon - HDS type is a refractory material and not amenable to break down by any natural chemical or enzymatic processes. AC - HDS cannot be rendered into a soluble form capable of being absorbed. Therefore it cannot find its way to any cell site where it could be conceivably be biodegraded. 12.3. Bioaccumulative potential The substance has a very low potential to bioaccumulate in aquatic species (e.g. fish), i.e. a BCF < 10.
