Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------

Inhalation:
Not expected to be a health hazard. Nuisance
dust. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause coughing and upper
respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion:
Extremely large oral
dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances.
Skin Contact:

No adverse effects expected.
Eye Contact:
No adverse
effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Chronic
Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing
Conditions:
No information found.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention
for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:
If large amounts were
swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Skin
Contact:
Not expected to require first aid measures.
Eye
Contact:
Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if
irritation develops.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient
concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust
explosion hazard. Minimum explosible concentration in air: 0.045 g/l.

Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for
extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:
In the
event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air.
Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent
scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal
and place in a closed container.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry,
ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from any source of
heat or ignition. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty
since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and
precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:
Sucrose:
- OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) -
Respirable fraction: 5 mg/m3
(TWA)
Total dust: 15 mg/m3 (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
-
10 mg/m3 (TWA), A4 - Not classifiable as a human carcinogen

Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into
the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial
Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for
details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure
limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece
particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up
to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is
lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters)
may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting
fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean
body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Safety glasses.
