Fine powders and/or soluble compounds of As, Pb … have hazardous properties with delayed effects following inhalation and oral intake.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: No special recommendation (taking account of environment polluting extinguishing water)
Extinguishers that cannot be used: None, preferably no water
Special exposure dangers: No
Special protective equipment for Fire Brigade personnel: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Respirable dust.
Advice for firefighters: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing and gloves must be worn in case of fire. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated fire fighting media in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautionary measures: Avoid inhalation of the dust and/or fumes. Wear suitable clothing, breathing protection (P2 filter) and face protection.
Environmental protection measures: Take action to prevent the substance from ending up in drainage pipes, surface water and the soil.
Cleaning methods: Seal off and cover spilt product (sand)
Material for containment:No data
Methods for cleaning up:Ventilate the area thoroughly.
Restrict the area to those persons wearing respiratory protection. Do not allow unprotected people into the area until cleanup has been completed.
Allow spilled material to solidify and scrape up with shovels into a suitable container for recycle or disposal as hazardous waste.
Collect dust, particulates, powders using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Place in a suitable container for recycling or disposal as hazardous waste
DO NOT empty into drains or waterways.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid swallowing or inhaling the dust or smoke. Avoid activities that create dust or smoke. Provide good ventilation to keep the concentration in the air below the limits. Procedural and control technologies are used to minimise emission and any resulting exposure (when handling the substance, during cleaning and maintenance works and in case of accident). All procedures are well documented and supervised by the site operator.
Only properly trained and authorised personnel may handle the substance.

Exposure controls
Technical protection measures:Local exhaust ventilation with enclosure and general ventilation are required in case of emission of dust/aerosol in air. Suction nozzles of local ventilation should be located at or below work level. Air outtakes of general ventilation should be located at the top of the room and air intakes should be located at the bottom of the room.
Personal Protection:Avoid direct contact with the material. If the concentration level is determined and known, select appropriate personal protection measures taking into account the concentration at the given workplace, exposure length and works performed by the given employee as well as the instructions provided by the producer of the personal protection equipment.
Eye/face protection:Protective goggles (EN 166).
Skin protection:Protective clothing (EN 347, EN 340).
Body /hand protection:Work gloves against dust (EN 388).
Respiratory protection:With dust or fume formation: P3-mask (EN 149).
Personal hygiene:Wash hands thoroughly after work to prevent oral ingestion. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace.
Environmental exposure controls:Take action to prevent the substance from getting into drainage pipes, surface water and the soil.
Stability and reactivity
The product is stable and unreactive in normal circumstances.
Disposal considerations
Product recommendation:Waste must be removed in accordance with national and/or regional waste legislation.
