| 3. Hazards Identification |
| HMIS RATINGS |
Health:0, Flamability:0, Reactivity:0 |
| Emergency Overview |
No Unusual fire or spill hazard. low health risk by inhalation. May be subject to slow oxidation if stored at temperatures above 140F |
| Potential Health Effects: Eyes |
May cause mechanical irritation |
| Potential Health Effects: Skin |
None |
| Potential Health Effects: Inhalation |
Low Health Risk by inhalation. Treat as Nuisance Dust |
| Potential Health Effects: Oral LD50 |
Greater than 10 g/kg (RAT) |
| Effects of Overexposure: Short term |
Inhallation of high levels of zinc oxide may result in tightness of chest, metallic taste, cough, dizziness, fever, chills, headache, nausea, and dry throat. Overexposure may produce symptoms known as metal fume fever or zinc shakes. An acute self-limiting condition without recognised complications. Symptoms of metal fume fever include: chills, fever, muscular pain, nausea and vomiting. Like any finely divided particulate matter, zinc oxide may cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes |
| Effects of Overexposure: Chronic |
Prolonged inhalation of zinc oxide may cause respiratory tract irritation with nasopharyngitis and laryngitis |
| Carcinogenity |
Not lsted with NTP, IARC or OSHA as a known or suspected carcinogen. |
| 4. First Aid Measures |
| INHALATION |
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is labored or stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. |
| INGESTION |
If swallowed. dilute with large amounts of water to induce vomiting. Consult a physician. |
| EYE CONTACT |
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists. |
| SKIN CONTACT |
Wash with soap and water |
| 5. Fire-Fighting Measures |

| Hazardous combustion products |
None |
| EXTINGUISHING MEDIA; |
Use extinguishing agent applicable to surrounding fire. If oxidation starts, the material should be cooled with water to dissipate the heat. |
| FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS |
Fire fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self contained breathiing apparatus and full protective
clothing when appropriate. |
| UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS |
Zinc iron oxide may be sugect to rapid oxidization if stored at temperatures above 140F |
| 6. Accidental Release Measures |
| Small/large spills |
Clean up using dry procedures: avoid dusting. |
| 7. Handling and Storage |
| Handling |
Good industral hygiene practice requires that employee exposure be maintained below TLV. This is preferably achieved through the provision
of adequate ventilation where necessary. Where dust cannot be controlled in this way, personal respiratory protection should be employed. |
| Storage |
Store in a clean, dry area at ambient temperatures in original unopened containers. Conditions of high humidity may require
storage in a controlled envirnment. Store at temperatures well below 140F |
| 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection |
| Engineering Controls |
Use with adequate ventilation to meet exposure limits listed in section 2 |
| RESPIRATORY CONTROL |
NIOSHA approved dust respirator if overexposure potential exists. |
| Skin Protection |
Leather or rubber gloves |
| Eye Protection |
Safety glasses/goggles or face shield recommended. |
