4. First aid measures
Eye Contact:

Skin Contact
Inhalation::

If Swallowed:

Effect of Overexposure:

Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and medicalcare immediately.
Wash with soap and large quantities of water.
Keep the fresh air and warm condition and emergency care.
In case of cyanosis, immediate artificial breathing.
When inhale the dust of Activated Carbon, rinse mouth with water.
Vomit immediately and wash out the mouth completely,
Emergency medical care should be required.
Avoid exposure to dust levels above 2.9 mg per cubic meter.
Long-term and low-level exposure to the dust may bring about
the pneumoconiosis.

No.2/3

5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media:

Special Fire Fighting Procedure:
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards :Foam, Multipurpose Dry Chemical and water Type
Extinguishers.
None
Contact with Strong oxidizers such as Ozone, Liquid
Oxygen, Permanganate, etc. may result in fire.

6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Methods for cleaning up/taking up
Sweeping or Vacuuming (Spills can create nuisance dust and house keeping problems.)
7. Handling and storage
Ventilation
Storage precaution::

Local exhaust is recommended,
Packaged activated carbon is not resistant to weather or outsidestorage and requires indoor storage facilities.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Protective equipment : no special requirements
Protective gloves: Rubber gloves recommended
Eye protection: Goggles recommended
Respiratory protection: NIOSH Approved particular filter respirator is recommended if
excessive dust is generated.

10. Stability and reactivity
Stability
Incompatibility(Materials to Avoid)::

Hazardous Polymerization
Conditions to Avoid::

Hazardous Decomposition Products:

StableStrong Oxidizers such as Ozone, Liquid Oxygen ,Permanganate, Nitric Acid etc.
May not occur.
Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing
a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels andenclosed or confined spaces.
Contact with strong inorganic acids such as Nitric
Acid and Sulfuric Acid may generate hazardous gases
such as NO2 and SO2 .

No.3/3

11. Toxicological information
Acute toxicity : －TLV(ACGIH):

N/A

12. Ecological information
Recommended disposal:

Activated carbons that have adsorbed organic liquids and gases
may lower the ignition point and must be checked for ignition
point before disposal.
Disposal of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulation.
Pay special attention not to flow out to the river, water supply
system, sewerage, sea.
If possible, regeneration is recommended.

13. Disposal considerations
In case of landfill, ask for permission in accordance with regulations of industrial discharges andclean in your country.
In case of incineration on the conventional way, adapt to the regulations on air pollution.
14. Transport information
Cover the product with a hood or a sheet to avoid rain.
Activated Carbon pass the test for self-heating substances as reflected in the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of dangerous goods, manual of Tests and Criteria(sec 33.3.1.3.3) and is not considered spontaneously combustible. Therefore, the provision forshipping activated carbon, class 4.2, in the IATA, ICAO, and IMDG Code publications do not apply
to shipment of this material.
15. Regulatory information
Follow all regulations in your country.
