LD50 LC50 Mixture:SEE HEALTH HAZARS INFORMATION.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THE
PRODUCT MAY PRODUCE EYE IRRITATION. THE PURE TEDA MATERIAL IS A
PRIMARY EYE IRRITANT (16 CFR 1500.42). SKIN: THE PRODUCT IS NOT A
PRIMARY SKIN IRRITANT. THE PRIMARY SK IN IRRITANT INDEX (RABBIT) IS
0. THE ASZM-3T ACTIVATED CARBON IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A PRIMARY
SKIN IRRITANT. INHALATION: A ONE-HOUR ACUTE INHALATION EXPOSURE OF
RATS TO A SIMILAR PRODUCT (WITHOUT ZINC OXIDE, TEDA, AND
MOLYBDENUM) AT A NOMINAL CONCENTRATION OF 56 MG/L AND A MEAN
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OF 9.7 MG/L DID NOT PRODUCE MORTALITY. THE
ACUTE INHALATION TOXICITY LC50 FOR THE PURE TEDA IS 4 M G/L IN
RATS. (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZ: THE ASZM-3T PRODUCT IS EXPECTED TO
BE PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC THROUGH INHALATION. INGESTION: THE ORAL
LD50 (RAT) FOR A SIMILAR PRODUCT (WITHOUT ZINC OXIDE, TEDA AND
MOLYBDENUM) WOULD BE 10.8 G/KG WITH 95% CONFIDENCE LIMITS OF 7.41
AND 15.7 G/KG. THE ADDITION OF THE IMPREGNANTS TO THE PRODUCT IS
NOT EXPECTED TO APPRECIABLY CHANGE THIS VALUE FOR ASZM-3T PRODUCT.
CHRONIC: THE EFFECTS OF LON G-TERM, LOW-LEVEL EXPOSURES TO THIS
PRODUCT HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED. SAFE HANDLING OF THIS MATERIAL ON
A LONG-TERM BASIS SHOULD EMPHASIZE THE AVOIDANCE OF ALL EFFECTS
FROM REPETITIVE ACUTE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION: NOT APPLICABLE. REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION) (FP N). INGESTION: NOT APPLICABLE. CALL A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY .

Extinguishing Media:FLOOD WITH PLENTY OF WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH STRONG OXIDIZERS SUCH AS
OZONE, LIQUID OXYGEN, CHLORINE, PERMANGANATE, ETC, MAY RESULT IN
FIRE. DUE TO METALS ON THE CARBON, THIS CATALYTIC REACTION IS
ACCELERATED FOR THE ASZM-3T DUST OR FINES. NFPA RATINGS: HEALTH =
0; REACTIVITY = 0; FLAMMABILITY = 1.

Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP UP UNUSED CARBON AND DISCARD IN REFUSE
CONTAINER FOR REPACKAGE. IF RELEASED, REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:THE ASZM-3T PRODUCT DUST OR FINES IS
MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CATALYTIC REACTION THAN THE LARGE MESH PRODUCT.
AVOID GENERATION OF DUST AND FINES DURING HANDLING.
Other Precautions:EXERCISE CAUTION IN THE STORAGE AND HANDLING OF ALL
CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES. FINES GENERATED BY ATTRITION DURING HANDLING
OF THE ASZM-3T PRODUCT GENERALLY CONTAIN A HIGHER LEVEL OF
IMPREGNANT THAN THE ACT UAL PRODUCT. HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS MAY BE
ACCENTUATED.

Respiratory Protection:A NIOSH APPROVED PARTICULATE FILTER RESPIRATOR
IS RECOMMENDED IF EXCESSIVE DUST IS GENERATED.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AND MECHANICAL VENTILATION
RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES RECOMMENDED.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:NOT REQUIRED. ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY
EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER .
