3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview :

Copper slag is solid angular to sub-angular granules. It is not toxic material but a health hazard may occur due to the abrasion of this material. Proper safety equipment especially eye glasses, gloves and respiratory shield could decrease the risk of health hazard.

 

Potential Health Effects

Eyes
:

Abrasion injuries possible if safety glasses are not worn. Contact lens use may be dangerous when handling this product.

Skin
:
Abrasion injuries possible occur when direct contact with the skin.
Ingestion
:

Toxic effects will not occur.

Inhalation
:

Fine particulates (PM-10) in the form of dust during loading/unloading, processing and packaging.

Chronic Effects
:
Respiratory illness as a result of long-term exposure to particulates is possible. NIOSH- approved particulate respirators should be used during handling operations. Existing disorder increases risk of discomfort and injury.
