Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with eyes. Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels or confined spaces
Protect containers from physical damage. Store in dry, cool, wellventilated area. Store away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, ignition sources, combustible materials, and heat. An adequate air gap between packages is recommended to reduce propagation in the case of fire.
Remove all strong ignition sources, no smoking, hot work permit systems, adequate air gap between packages.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Local exhaust and general ventilation must be adequate to meet exposure standards
None required under normal product handling conditions
safety glasses
If airborne concentrations are above the applicable exposure limits, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection
Wear suitable working clothes
