*Exposure limits for zinc dust have not been set by OSHA or ACGIH. There are occupational standards for zinc oxide, which may be formed from zinc dust during welding, burning, and other fuming processes. ENGINEERING CONTROLS General and/or local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain air quality and keep airborne exposures below recommended occupational exposure limits. Eyewash stations and washing facilities should be located in close proximity to work operations in which this product is used. PERSONAL PROTECTION Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications, handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage. Respiratory Protection: No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. For high airborne concentrations, emergency situations such as fires or in absence of ventilation use an appropriate NIOSH approved respirator or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. Hand Protection: Chemical resistant gloves are recommended to prevent skin contact symptoms. If contact with forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves. Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles are recommended to prevent risk of direct eye contact with the eyes. Skin and Body Protection: No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, protective clothing or laboratory apron is recommended. Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.

Conclusion / Remarks
Static Bioassay. Moderate toxicity. Toxicity varies between fish species, slight to moderate. Moderately toxic to species

Environmental Fate There is limited data for the product ingredients. Mobility in soil is affected by the pH. There is no evidence that components will biotransform in aquatic environments. Nickel and aluminum contamination can be toxic to fish species. Zinc is a stable element and therefore does not degrade in the environment. Limited data suggests there is low potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic environments. Zinc will not accumulate in fish tissues at higher concentration exposures, but vegetation may accumulate higher levels of zinc if grown in contaminated soils. Industrial products should not be discharged to sewers or other water sources to prevent the risks of long term adverse effects and environmental contamination.

SECTION 13
