Health Hazard summary       Low to moderate toxicity – irritant. Use to

                                               save work practices to avoid eye or skin

                                               contact and dust generation and inhalation.

                                               When handled to small quantities the

                                               potential for dust inhalation and adverse

                                               health effects are reduced.

                                  Eye        Irritant. Exposure may result in irritation

                                               lacrimation, pain, redness, and blurring or

                                               dimness of visio.

                        Inhalation      Low to moderate irritant. Over exposures

                                              may result in mucus membrane irritation of

                                              the nose and throat and coughing, dizziness

                                              and headache.

                                  Skin       Irritant. Prolonged contact may result in

                                               irritation, itching and possible skin rash.

                          Ingestion      Low to moderate toxicity. Ingestion may

                                               result in headache, nausea, vormiting,

                                               gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhoea.

                     Toxicity data     LD5D(ingestion) : 6207 mg/Kg (mouse)

                                               LD5D(intraperitoneal): 274 mg/Kg (mouse)

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

ALUMINIUM SULFAT SOLID

               Instability      Stable In air

        Polymerization     Will not occur

Conditions to Avoid     Corrosive and corrodes most metals

          Incompatible      Avoid contact with metals/ metal alloys

                                     (titanium is exception). Avoid contact carbon

              

                 Materials      Steel, stainless steel, copper/copper alloys, and

                                     aluminium/ aluminium alloys

           Eye  Flush gently with running water. Seek medical attention if

                   irritation develops

Inhalation  If over exposure occurs leave exposure area immediately. If

                  other than minor symtomps are displayed seek immediate

                  medical attention.

        

          Skin  Gently flush affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical

                   attention if irritation develops.

 Ingestion  Do not induce vomiting. If consolous, drink water or milk of

                  magnesia, but do not give bicarbonate to neutralize. Get

                  medical attention.

                                                                                     

       Extinguishing     Non flammable, however if material is involved in

                                  A fire use dry chemical, CO2 or water sprau.

Fire and Explosion     Non flammable. Evacuate area and contact

                                  emergency services. Toxic gases (sulphur oxides)

                                  may be envolved when heated in a fire situation.

                                  Remain upwind and notify those downwind of

                                  hazard. Wear full protective equipment including self

                                  Contained Breathing Apparatus when combating

                                  fire. Use waterfrog to all intact containers and

                                  nearby storage areas.

 Storage     Store in coll, dry areas, removed from foodstuffs. Ensure

                   containers are labelled, protected from physical damage and

                   sealed when not in use.

Handling    Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in dust.

Personal Protective Equipment     Wear dust-proof goggles, converalls

                                                        and PVC or rubber gloves. Where an

                                                        inhalation risk exist, wear a class P1

                                                        ( Particulate) Respirator.

     Spillnge    If split (bulk), wear dust-proof goggles, PVC/ rubber gloves,

                      coveralls and a class P1 ( Particulate) respirator (if an

                      inhalation risk exists). Absorb with moist sand or similar and

                      place in scalable containers for disposal.

Enviroment            This product is not anticipated to cause adverse affects to

                      animal or plant life if released to the environment in small

                      quantities. If released to water, aluminium sulphate will

                      slowly be precipitated as aluminium hydroxide. Not expected

                      to bioaccumulate. Toxic to aquatic organisms at around 136

                      ppm. Plants may experience chronic toxicity at 25 ppm.

                      Howeverits use fertilizer indicates beneficial effects to plants

                      at low concentration.
