Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with water, keeping eyelids open for at least 10 minutes; seek medical attention if irritation develops
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water; get medical advice if irritation persists
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, keep comfortable; provide oxygen if breathing becomes difficult; seek medical help if symptoms occur
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting unless advised by medical personnel; seek advice if large amounts swallowed or discomfort appears
Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Temporary irritation of eyes, nose, throat, or skin
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam
Specific Hazards: Material does not burn easily; in a fire, can decompose to release calcium oxide and carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Thermal Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, calcium oxide
Special Procedures: Avoid inhalation of fumes; remain upwind from fire area
Explosion Hazard: Not explosive under normal conditions
Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; avoid dust generation
Protective Equipment: Use gloves, safety goggles, dust mask or respirator in dusty conditions
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities from entering drains or waterways
Methods for Clean-up: Sweep or vacuum spilled material gently; place in labeled container; wash spill area with water
Reference to Other Sections: See Exposure Controls for personal protection recommendations
Handling: Minimize dust formation; use local exhaust or general ventilation; avoid breathing dust
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place; keep tightly sealed in original packaging
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids (releases acetic acid on contact), strong oxidizers
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area
Special Storage Requirements: Protect from moisture; keep away from food and feedstuffs
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established TLV or PEL for calcium acetate; respect general nuisance dust limits (e.g., OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize dust; keep closed containers; provide eyewash stations in work area
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or goggles, protective gloves, dust mask or respirator in dusty areas, lab coat or suitable clothing
Environmental Controls: Avoid release to environment; use containment devices during large-scale handling
