A: General Product Information
3
Keep formation of airborne dusts to a minimum. Follow the ACGIH recommended exposure limit of 10 mg/m
for Particulates Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC).
B: Component Exposure Limits
ACGIH, OSHA, and NIOSH have not developed exposure limits for any of this product's components.
Engineering Controls
Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Wear dust goggles.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Use impervious gloves.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
Use a dust mask for particulate concentrations exceeding the Occupational Exposure Limit.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended.

* * * Section 10 - Chemical Stability & Reactivity Information * * *
Chemical Stability
Stable under normal conditions.
Chemical Stability: Conditions to Avoid
Avoid contact with acids.
Incompatibility
Calcium Carbonate ignites on contact with fluorine. It is incompatible with acids, alum, ammonium salts, and
mercury/hydrogen mixtures.
Hazardous Decomposition
Thermal oxidative decomposition of calcium carbonate can produce calcium oxide.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
* * * Section 11 - Toxicological Information * * *

Acute and Chronic Toxicity
Overexposure to calcium carbonate may result in irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Acute
ingestion may result in mild gastrointestinal distress while chronic exposure may result in hypercalcemia,
alkalosis and renal impairment. Approximately 70-80% of inhaled calcium carbonate was retained in the lungs.
Animal studies suggest that inhalation of calcium carbonate dusts may enhance susceptibility to respiratory
infection.
