Major Constituents: Calcium, citric acid residues, malic acid residues
Impurities: Trace elements, moisture less than 5%
Solvent Residue: None present

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air; get medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water and mild soap; seek medical attention if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing; obtain medical care for persistent discomfort
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; drink water to dilute; seek medical advice if significant quantities are ingested or if symptoms develop
Acute Symptoms: Mild irritation, sore throat, coughing, slight redness to eyes or skin
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None identified
Fire Hazards: Substance is not combustible; product may decompose and emit irritating vapors in case of extreme heat
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, calcium oxides may form under intense fire
Special Procedures: Avoid breathing dust or fumes, keep run-off from entering sewers

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent bulk release into surface water, drains, or soil
Clean Up Methods: Collect spilled material mechanically; avoid generating airborne dust; sweep up and transfer to a properly labeled waste container
Disposal: See product disposal considerations below
Decontamination: Wash spill area thoroughly with water after material picked up

Handling and Storage

Handling: Operate with good industrial hygiene; minimize dust generation and inhalation
Protective Actions: Use local exhaust or general ventilation if dust is produced
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible substances such as strong acids
Packaging: Keep container tightly closed, labeled, and protected from physical damage
Avoid: Direct contact, moisture, extreme temperatures

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established by OSHA, ACGIH, or EU; treat as nuisance dust (10 mg/m³ for total dust, 3 mg/m³ for respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other controls to keep airborne levels below recommended limits
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator when dust formation is possible
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves
Eye Protection: Use safety goggles or glasses
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin after handling
Other Protection: Provide eyewash stations in work area
