3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 

Potential Health Effects: 

Eye: Dusts may be abrasive and irritating to the eyes and cause stinging, watering, and redness. 

Skin: Dusts, pellets, or granules may be abrasive and mildly irritating to the skin. No harmful effects 

from skin absorption are expected. 

Inhalation (Breathing): Low degree of toxicity by inhalation. 

Ingestion (Swallowing): No harmful effects expected from ingestion. 

Signs and Symptoms: 

Repeated overexposures to dusts may result in irritation of the respiratory tract, pneumoconiosis (dust 

congested lungs), pneumonitis (lung inflammation), coughing, and shortness of breath. 

Cancer: Inadequate data available to evaluate the cancer hazard of this material. 

Target Organs : Inadequate data available for this material. 

Developmental : No data available for this material. 

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions: Conditions aggravated by exposure may include skin 

d is0 rders and res pi rat0 ry (asthma- li ke) d is0 rders . 

4. FIRST AID MEASURES 

Eye: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes 
(MSDS: 724120) Page 3of 6 

with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. 

Skin: First aid is not normally required. However, it is good practice to wash any chemical from the 

skin. 

Inhalation (Breathing): First aid is not normally required. If breathing difficulties develop, move victim away from 

source of exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention. 

Ingestion (Swallowing): First aid is not normally required; however, if swallowed and symptoms develop, seek 

medical attention. 

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 

Flammable Properties: Flash Point: Not applicable 

OSHA Flammability Class: Not applicable 

LEUUEL%: Not applicable 

Autoignition Temperature: No Data 

Burn Rate (solids): No Data 

Unusual Fire 8 Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards are expected. 

Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. 

Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard 

area should wear bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or 

when explicitly required by DOT, a self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other 

appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (see Section 8). 

Isolate immediate hazard area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Contain spill if it can be done with minimal risk. 

Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. 

Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. 

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

Stay upwind and away from spill. Notify persons down wind of the spillhelease, isolate immediate hazard area and 

keep unauthorized personnel out. Contain spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective 

equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant (see Section 8). 

Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural 

waterways. Notify appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. Minimize dust generation. Sweep up and package 

appropriately for disposal. 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 

Hand1 i ng : The use of appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed any 

established exposure limits (see Sections 2 and 8). 

Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Use good personal hygiene practices. 

Storage: Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat and all 

sources of ignition. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). 

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 

Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below 
(MSDS: 724120) Page 4of 6 

the established exposure limits (see Section 2), additional engineering controls may be required. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): 

Respiratory: A NIOSH certified air purifying respirator with a Type 95 (R or P) particulate 

filter may be used under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed 

exposure limits (see Section 2). 

Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited (see manufacturer's respirator 

selection guide). Use a NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or 

equivalent operated in a pressure demand or other positive pressure mode if there is 

potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other 

circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A 

respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 191 0.134 and ANSI 288.2 

requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. 

Skin: Not required based on the hazards of the material. However, it is considered good 

practice to wear gloves when handling chemicals. 

Eye/Face: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation, or 

injury is recommended. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary. 

Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work 

area for flushing eyes and skin. Impervious clothing should be worn as needed. 

Suggestions for the use of specific protective materials are based on readily available published 

data. Users should check with specific manufacturers to confirm the performance of their products.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION 

Coke, Calcined (CAS# 64743-05-1 

Carcinogenicity: Lifetime skin painting studies in mice in which petroleum coke was applied as 

a 25% mineral oil solution were negative. 

Target Organ(s): Repeated exposure of rats to 10 and 30 mg/m3 petroleum coke dust for two 

years resulted in signs of lung injury including fibrosis (scarring of lung tissue). Similar exposures in 

monkeys caused no significant lung effects.
