Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke
Special Firefighting Procedures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent dust inhalation
Explosion Hazard: Dust in high concentrations may cause explosion; avoid dust clouds near ignition sources
Unusual Fire Hazards: Fine powders can ignite if dispersed in air and exposed to flames or sparks
Protective Equipment: Standard firefighting suits and gloves, NIOSH-approved respirator
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves and goggles, avoid breathing dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to watercourses, sweep or vacuum gently; avoid dust dispersion
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled powder using a vacuum with HEPA filter; wash area with water; contain and dispose according to local regulations
Reference to Other Sections: Refer to Personal Protection and Disposal Considerations for further steps
Safe Handling: Wear protective gear during bulk handling; operate with minimal agitation to reduce airborne powder
Ventilation: Store in a well-ventilated, dry, cool space
Storage Conditions: Airtight containers, away from sunlight and moisture, maintain temperature below 25°C
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, humidity, open flames
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after use, prevent powder buildup on skin or surfaces
Shelf Life: Use within one year for best potency and aroma
Control Parameters: No occupational exposure limits established for ginger powder dust
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust/ventilation in processing or packaging workspaces, use of dust extraction systems
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protective gloves (nitrile or vinyl), dust mask or particulate respirator (N95 or higher), safety goggles for eye protection, laboratory coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Required for heavy dust exposure; absence of ventilation calls for NIOSH-certified mask
Hand Protection: Gloves when handling in bulk or cleaning up spills
Eye/Face Protection: Safety goggles or face shield if dust levels are high
Physical State: Fine powder
Color: Pale yellow to light brown
Odor: Pungent, characteristic of ginger

Solubility in Water: Insoluble, disperses in water
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Not applicable
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Above 200°C (calculated, dependent on moisture)
Bulk Density: Ranges from 0.5 to 0.7 g/cm³
Other Data: Slightly hygroscopic, absorbs moisture from air if storage not maintained
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, risk of oxidation if exposed to air and light
Reactivity: May react with strong acids or oxidizers, avoid contact
Hazardous Reactions: Dust dispersed in air can generate risk of combustion or mild explosion
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, high humidity, moisture ingress
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, minor volatile oils released if overheated
Acute Toxicity: Not classified as acutely toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure for humans based on available data
Chronic Effects: No reported chronic toxicity in normal food-use amounts; excessive inhalation of dust in industrial settings can cause respiratory discomfort
Irritant Effects: Mild skin or eye irritation can occur; ingestion may be pungent or produce gastrointestinal discomfort in rare cases
Allergy Risk: Allergic reaction extremely rare, more likely with cross-contamination
Carcinogenicity: No evidence or listing by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity: No data indicating mutagenic properties for ginger powder
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to cause toxic effects to aquatic life or plants in small incidental releases
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable, natural plant-based material
Bioaccumulation: Not expected due to rapid breakdown in the environment
Mobility in Soil: Low, material will be adsorbed and degraded by soil microflora
Other Adverse Effects: High concentrations could contribute to biological oxygen demand if improperly disposed, small spills are not likely to have harmful impact
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of in accordance with local waste regulations, composting is appropriate for non-contaminated product
Packaging Disposal: Cleaned, dry packaging materials may be recycled where facilities exist; otherwise, dispose in general waste
