First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures:
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most Important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Breathing crystalline silica can cause lung disease, including silicosis and lung cancer. Crystalline silica has also been associated with scleroderma and kidney disease.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: None known
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Special Exposure Hazards: Decomposition in fire may produce toxic gases
Advice for firefighters
Special Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighters: Full protective clothing and approved self-contained breathing apparatus required for fire-fighting personnel.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use appropriate protective equipment. Avoid creating and breathing dust.
Environmental precautions: None known.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Collect using dustless method and hold for appropriate disposal. Consider possible toxic or fire hazards associated with contaminating substances and use appropriate methods for collection, storage and disposal.
Handling and storage
Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid creating dusty conditions. Use only with adequate ventilation to keep exposure below recommended exposure limits. Material is slippery when wet.
Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a dry location. Use good housekeeping in storage and work areas to prevent accumulation of dust. Close container when not in use. Do not reuse empty container.

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Engineering controls: Use approved industrial ventilation and local exhaust as required to maintain exposures below applicable exposure limits
2. Hand protection: Normal work gloves
3. Body protection: Wear clothing appropriate for the work environment. Dusty clothing should be laundered before reuse. Use precautionary measures to avoid creating dust when removing or laundering clothing
4. Eye protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against exposure
5. Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH certified, European Standard EN 149 (FFP2/FFP3), AS/NZS 1715:2009, or equivalent respirator when using this product
The physiochemical and toxicity data generated for organolignite demonstrates it is a poorly soluble particulate (PSP). PSPs are treated as a "general dust" by occupational regulatory agencies and ECHA guidance indicates that many countries have adopted a respirable general dust limit of 3 mg/m3. It is appropriate to treat organolignite as a general dust, therefore, workers should avoid exposure to airborne concentrations of organolignite greater than 3 mg/m3.
Stability and reactivity
Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
