| EXPLOSION POTENTIAL: There is a possibility of flying glass fragments if hot glass comes in contact with water or carbon dioxide extinguishing media. | ||
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA |
| PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: | EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (EO) OR FIRST AID (FA): |
| INHALATION: | Acute: Respiratory irritation. Chronic: Possible pneumoconiosis effects. |
| INGESTION: | Ingestion may cause vomiting, diarrhea, depressed circulation & in severe cases shock, coma, paralysis & cyanosis. |
| SKIN: | Glass dust may cause irritation. Arsenic has been known to cause itching, pigmentation & cancerous changes of the skin. |
| EYE: | May cause irritation. |
| GENERAL FIRST AID: Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Seek medical attention. Skin: Wash with soap & water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Eye: Flush well with running water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. | |
SECTION VI - SPILL, LEAK & DISPOSAL |
| Spill or leak procedures: No special precautions. Waste disposal: Follow Federal, State and Local Regulations |
SECTION VII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION |
| 1. Use local exhaust ventilation.
Avoid dispersal of fibrous or other glass particulate into the workplace air. Respiratory-If glass dust or particulate are above the OSHA permissible exposure limits use a NIOSH approved respirator for dust & fibers. 2. Eye protection-Industrial safety glasses with side shields. 3. Protective gloves-Recommend gloves for protection from sharp edges 4. Parental guidance require in the handling of residue and glass fragments and suppression of glass dust. |
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS & COMMENTS |
| 1. Reactivity: This is stable
material. Glass is inert to many chemicals, but may react to hot, strong alkaline
solutions & with hydrofluoric, fluosilicic & phosphoric acids. 2. Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: May emit metal oxide fumes when heated to high temperature. 3. Inorganic glass is an amorphous, inorganic, usually transparent or translucent substance consisting of a mixture of silicates or sometimes borates or phosphates formed by fusion or silica & various types of oxides with a flux & stabilizer into a mass that cools to a rigid condition without crystallization. 4. Parental guidance and participation is need to teach the proper handling of material. 5. The achromatic kits are not recommended for juveniles. One of the glass elements contains lead in its matrix. As a precaution, children and young adults should not be exposed to this material via grinding and polishing it during their developmental years even though the lead is not in its free state.. If you have any questions as to the risks, it is recommended that you contact your doctor. |
