Classification
Combustible dust -
Label elements
Signal word
Warning
Hazard statements
May form combustible dust concentrations in air
Other information
Activated carbon (especially when wet) can deplete oxygen from air in enclosed spaces, and dangerously low levels of oxygen
may result. Prior to entering a confined space that contains or previously contained activated carbon, the space should be
evaluated for oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations, and any other hazards, by a qualified person.
Workers should also take appropriate precautions when dealing with spent (used) activated carbons which may exhibit
hazardous properties associated with the adsorbed materials.
Avoid generation of dust. Powdered material may form an explosible dust-air mixture. If transferring product under pressure,
avoid generation of dust if an ignition source is present.
Activated carbons have high surface area which may cause self-heating during oxidation. See section 5.
Do not generate dust because airborne respirable crystalline silica may be generated.

4. First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation If cough, shortness of breath or other breathing problems occur, move to fresh air. Seek
medical attention if symptoms persist. If necessary, restore normal breathing through
standard first aid measures.
Eye contact In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Skin contact Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. A fog is recommended if
water is used.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. DO NOT USE high
pressure media which could cause formation of a potentially explosible dust-air mixture.
In the event of a fire, spreading large amounts of activated carbon is not recommended
due to the risk of creating uncontrolled dust emissions.
Specific hazards arising from the Burning produces irritant fumes. If transferring product under pressure, avoid generation
chemical of dust if an ignition source is present.
Activated carbons have high surface area which may cause self-heating during oxidation.
An adequate air gap between packages of activated carbon is recommended to reduce
risk of propagation of the event. Activated carbon is difficult to ignite and tends to burn

slowly (smolder) without producing smoke or flame.
Hazardous combustion products Materials allowed to smolder for long periods in enclosed spaces may produce amounts
of carbon monoxide which reach the lower explosive limit (carbon monoxide LEL = 12.5%
in air), Used activated carbon may produce additional combustion products which are
based on the substance(s) adsorbed, Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Explosion data
Special protective equipment and In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protection
precautions for fire-fighters equipment.
Personal precautions Avoid generation of dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective
equipment as required. See section 8.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions No special environmental measures are necessary. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for cleaning up Avoid dry sweeping and use water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems to prevent
airborne dust generation. If the spilled material contains dust or has the potential to
create dust, use explosion-proof vacuums and/or cleaning systems suitable for
combustible dusts. Use of a vacuum with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration is
recommended. Do not create a dust cloud by using a brush or compressed air. Pick up
and transfer to properly labeled containers. Spent granular activated carbon may be
recyclable. Dispose of virgin (unused) carbon (surplus or spillage) in a facility permitted
for non-hazardous wastes. Spent (used) carbon should be disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws. Do not reuse empty bags: dispose of in a facility permitted for non-
hazardous wastes. See section 13.
Advice on safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid generation of dust. Do not breathe dust. Provide
appropriate local exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be
generated. Do not create a dust cloud by using a brush or compressed air. Dust can form

an explosive mixture with air.
Activated carbons have high surface area which may cause self-heating during oxidation.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All metal parts of the mixing and
processing equipment must be earthed/grounded. Ensure all equipment is electrically
earthed/grounded before beginning transfer operations. Fine dust is capable of
penetrating electrical equipment and may cause electrical shorts. If hot work (welding,
torch cutting, etc.) is required the immediate work area must be cleared of product and
dust.
General hygiene considerations Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from
heat. Eliminate sources of ignition. Do not store together with strong oxidizing agents. Do
not store together with volatile chemicals as they may be adsorbed onto product. Keep in
properly labeled containers. Activated carbon is difficult to ignite and tends to burn
slowly (smolder) without producing smoke or flame. Dust deposits should not be allowed
to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosible mixture if they are released
in the atmosphere in sufficient concentrations. Prior to entering a confined space that
contains or previously contained activated carbon, the space should be evaluated for
oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations, and any other hazards, by a qualified
person.

Engineering controls Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain exposures below occupational limits. Provide
appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where vapors from hot
product or dust can be generated. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are
close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and body protection Wear suitable protective clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
Respiratory protection Approved respirator may be necessary if local exhaust ventilation is not adequate.
Environmental exposure controls No special environmental measures are necessary. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained.
General hygiene considerations Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
