    SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES


    Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes including under eye lids. Consult a physician if
    irritation persists.

    Skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and launder contaminated
    clothing.

    Ingestion: Get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician.

    Special Firefighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear SCBA's with full face protection
    when fighting fires involving coal or petroleum products. Use wash down and spread out method.

    Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Susceptible to spontaneous combustion. Highly


    combustible and explosive in powder form.

    SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


    Spills Procedure: Normal product use is not conducive to large spills. Cleanup of the spilled dust
    by HEPA vacuum is adequate.

    SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE


    Handling & Storage: Store in original container away from light, heat and moisture.

    SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


    Coal dust bituminous
    TWA: 10 mg/m3/(%SiO2+2), from OSHA (PEL) [United States] Inhalation Respirable.
    TWA: 0.9 mg/m3 from ACGIH (TLV) [United States, 2013] Inhalation Respirable.

    Protective Equipment: Safety glasses are recommended. Eye wash fountains should be
    available whenever handling dust. Normal ventilation is adequate for the intended purpose of the
    product. Respiratory protection is not necessary under normal conditions during calibration of the
    CDEM-1000. Neoprene or PVC gloves may be worn to avoid prolonged skin contact.

    SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES


    Appearance & Odor: Irregular, rectangular Solubility in Water: Insoluble
    particles, gray-black to black in color, sized to Flash Point: > 260F
    40 to 160 µm, with very slight odor. Auto Ignition Temperature: 260-365°F
    Melting Point: 750°F/385°C (First softening) Flammability Limits: N/A
    Specific Gravity: 1.43 (H20=1)
    Vapor Pressure, mm Hg: N/A
    Evaporation Rate: N/A

    SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY


    Stability: This is a stable material. It will not undergo hazardous polymerization. However, fine
    dust can ignite spontaneously, and heated storage can accelerate the process.

    Conditions to Avoid: Store in the original container away from sources of heat. Do not store at
    high temperatures. Keep away from sources of spark or flame.

    Hazardous Decomposition Products: May emit hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, oxides
    of sulfur and Hydrogen and coal tar pitch volatiles upon thermal decomposition.

    SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION


    Coal dust cannot be classified as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (IARC Monographs, Vol.68
    (1997) pp 337-406.)
    Acute toxicity, rat, oral or inhalation data not available.
    Long term inhalation of coal dust may lead to pneumoconiosis. The ACGIH TLV is based on lung
    damage and pulmonary fibrosis. The TLV is intended to minimize the potential for nearly all
    miners from developing progressive massive fibrosis (PMF) and chronic obstructive lung disease
    during their lifetime. ACGIH TLV Documentation for Coal Dust, 2001.

    SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION


    Not available

    SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
