Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
    & GI TRACTS. ACUTE-  MAY CAUSE SEVERE EYE IRRITATION OR EVEN BURNS
    FROM HEAT OF HYDROLYSIS. SOLID MAY CAUSE MILD SKIN IRRITATION;
    STRONG SOLUTIONS OR SOLID IN CO NTACT WITH MOIST MAY CAUSE SEVERE
    IRRITATION, EVEN BURNS. LOW TOXICITY MATERIAL BUT  INGESTION MAY
    CAUSE SERIOUS IRRITATION OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE DUE TO HEAT OF
    HYDROLYSIS. LARGE AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE GA STROINTESTINAL UPSET,
    VOMITING, ABDOMINAL PAIN. INHALATION OF GRANULAR MATERIAL DOES NOT
    POSE A SIGNIFICANT INHALATION HAZARD, BUT INHALATION OF DUST MAY
    CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHR ONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:COUGHING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, VOMITING,
    ABDOMINAL PAIN, SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, PAIN

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALED: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA.
    IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
    DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.  EYES: WASH WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF
    WATER FOR 15 M INUTES. SKIN: REMOVE EXCESS. FLUSH SKIN WITH LARGE
    AMOUNT OF RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH
    WITH RUNNING WATER. INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS DIRECTED BY
    MEDICAL PERSONNEL. N EVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
    PERSON.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
    SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE,  WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR
    APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8
    (EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION).  SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE
    FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL . VACUUMING OR WET SWEEPING MAY BE
    AVOID DUST DISPERSAL. SMALL AMOUNTS OF RESIDUE MAY BE FLUSHED TO
    SEWER WITH PLENTY OF WATER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
    STORED IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. MOIST CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS CAN
    CORRODE STEEL WHEN EXPOSED TO THE ATM OSPHERE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE
    WILL ABSORB WATER AND FORM A SOLUTION. SEE OTHER PRECAUTIONS.
Other Precautions:DISPOSE OF CONTAINER AND UNUSED CONTENTS IN
    ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTAINERS
    OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN
    PRODUCT RESIUDES (DUST, SOL IDS); OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND
    PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE PRODUCT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED: FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE
    EXPOSURE TO THE DUST OR MIST IS APPARENT, A HALF-FACE DUST/MIST
    RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES WHERE THE
    EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN , USE A FULL-FACE POSITIVE-PRESSURE,
    AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRAORS DO NOT
    PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. LOCAL EXHAUST
    VENTILATION IS GENERALLY (SEE SUPPL.)
Protective Gloves:WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CLEAN BODY-COVERING
    CLOTHING.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR FULL FACE SHIELD
    WHERE DUSTING OR SPLASING
Other Protective Equipment:MAINTAIN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IN WORK AREA.
    DUST DEPOSITS ON FLOORS AND OTHER SURFACES MAY PICK UP MOISTURE AND
    CAUSE THE SURFACES TO BECOME SLIPPERY AND PRESENT SAFETY HAZARDS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL
    THE EMISSION OF THE CONTAMINANT AT ITS SOURCE, PREVENTING
    DISPERSION OF IT INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA.
