INHALATION (Breathing) Repeated overexposure to dusts may result in irritation of the respiratory tract, pneumoconiosis (dust congested lungs), pneumontis (lung inflammation), coughing, and shortness of breath. INGESTION (Swallowing) No Data Available

SKIN No Data Available Calcined Delayed Petroleum Coke, Shot Coke, or Ti-Coke
Carbon, carbonaceous material resulting from high temperature treatment of green petroleum cokeHealth No significant irritation expected. Possible abrasive mechanical irritation, dust may cause stinging, watering, or redness. Flush eyes with plenty of water. No significant irritation expected. Possible mechanical irritation. Possible irritation of respiratory tract. May aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions. No significant health hazards expected. If large quantities are ingested, or discomfort occurs, seek medical attention. First aid is not normally required. May be abrasive and mildy irritating. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation or dermatitis to susceptible individuals.

DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS SARA 311/312

No special requirements. However, material should be stored to minimize dust formation. The use of appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed any established exposure limits. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene practices.

This material, if discarded as product, is not a RCRA "listed" or "characteristic" hazardous waste. Product may be processed by an approved recycler, or disposed of at an approved waste disposal facility. Method of disposal selected is subject to compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and product characteristics at the time of disposal.Fire & Exposure

If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.Reactivity Use washdown and spread out method. For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate

A ppropriate respirator depends upon the type and magnitude of exposure. A NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator (i.e

. type 95 [R or P] particulate filter) may be used under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits for dust (see Section IX). Use a positive pressure air respirator, if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.

Contain and remove by mechanical means (scoop, sweep or vacuum). Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, or other unauthorized treatment drainage systems and natural waterways. Recommend using good personal hygiene practices and a clean source of water for flushing eyes and skin. Not required. However, it is considered good practice to wear gloves when handling. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, perchlorates, peroxides, nitric acid, especially when heated. This material may burn , but will not ignite readily. When water is used to extinguish a fire in a confined storage space there is the possibility of a steam explosion. Whenever possible, the burning coke in a confined storage space should be removed and the material drenched in an open area to extinguish fire. 

# Material Safety Data Sheet 

# CII

This material contains no chemicals subject to the reporting requirements of SARA 313 and 40 CFR 372 Approved eye protection, such as safety glasses or goggles, to safeguard against potential eye contact is recommended.

Mechanically ventilate the work environment to reduce dust concentration and to maintain normal atmospheric oxygen levels. First aid is not normally required. If breathing difficulties develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air. Seek medical attention. First aid is not normally required. There are no known health effects form ingestion of small amounts. If swallowed and symptoms or discomfort develops, seek medical attention. Stable Will Not Occur Will Occur
