| SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY:
UNSTABLE ( )
STABLE (XX)
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ORGANICS IN AIR WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURE RISE DUE TO
HEAT OF ADSORPTION. AT VERY HIGH CONCENTRATION LEVELS THIS COULD CAUSE A
BED FIRE.
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF KETONES AND ALDEHYDES CAN CAUSE A BED TEMPERATURE
RISE DUE TO ADSORPTION AND OXIDATION.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
STRONG OXIDIZERS SUCH AS OZONE, OXYGEN, PERMANGANATE, CHLORINE.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:
CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE GENERATED IN A FIRE.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
MAY OCCUR ( )
WILL NOT OCCUR (XX)
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE

| SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
SWEEP OR SHOVEL UP CARBON INTO CLOSED CONTAINER. DISCARD, REPACKAGE OR
RECYCLE.
REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
DISPOSE OF CARBON IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
WET ACTIVATED CARBON REMOVES OXYGEN FROM AIR POSING A HAZARD TO WORKERS
INSIDE CARBON VESSELS OR ENCLOSED/CONFINED SPACES. BEFORE ENTERING SUCH AN
AREA, SAMPLE AIR TO ASSURE SUFFICIENT OXYGEN SUPPLY. USE WORK PROCEDURES
FOR LOW OXYGEN LEVELS, OBSERVING ALL LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

NIOSH APPROVED PARTICULATE FILTER IF DUST IN GENERATED IN HANDLING.
VENTILATION:
LOCAL EXHAUST: RECOMMENDED
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): RECOMMENDED
SPECIAL:
OTHER:
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: RUBBER OR LATEX GLOVES
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: AS NEEDED.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
AVOID GENERATION OF DUST IN HANDLING. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT.
