Signal Word: None
Hazard Statements: May cause mild respiratory tract irritation if inhaled; may aggravate pre-existing allergies
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing dust, wear suitable protection, wash hands after handling
Other Hazards: No chronic toxicity data in available literature for standard use; highly processed or concentrated extracts have separate profiles
Ingredient: 100% Panax Ginseng Root Powder
Constituents: Glycosides (Ginsenosides), plant fiber, trace sugars, minor volatile oils, moisture below 10%
Purity: Single botanical ingredient, no intentional additives or preservatives
Allergens: No common allergens known, though cross-reactivity with other plants possible
Impurities: Potential trace soil or agricultural dust, subject to regulatory limits and monitoring
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, seek medical attention if coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath persists
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, check for persistent irritation, consult physician if redness or pain continues
Skin Contact: Wash area with water and soap, seek advice if rash or unusual reaction develops
Ingestion: Usually regarded as safe in customary use, if excessive quantity ingested and discomfort occurs, consult a healthcare professional
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation, mild allergic response in rare cases
Advice for First Responders: Standard PPE (gloves, goggles) suggested, provide ventilation
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water, dry chemical, foam, CO₂
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jet may spread dust
Special Hazards: Airborne powder may form combustible dust clouds; risk of flash fire with ignition sources in enclosed spaces
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use standard full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus recommended
Hazardous Combustion Products: Standard organic combustion products; carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, low level irritants from incomplete combustion
Personal Precautions: Use dust mask (respirator if large quantity), avoid generating airborne dust, wear goggles and gloves if large spill
Environmental Precautions: Prevent powder from entering drains or watercourses due to risk of clogging or nutrient loading
Cleanup Methods: Sweep gently with damp brush, collect in sealable containers, use vacuum with HEPA filter for large spills, ventilate area
Disposal: Dispose of cleaned-up material in accordance with local regulations, composting allowed by some municipal standards
Handling: Keep containers closed, minimize dust formation, use in well-ventilated area, avoid inhalation of powder
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from strong odors, chemicals, ignition sources, excessive humidity
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, moisture, heat
Packaging Requirements: Keep in food-grade, sealed, labeled containers to prevent contamination or spillage
Special Precautions: Clean up spills promptly to prevent slip hazard, keep away from children and animals
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation if dust is likely, enclosed handling or extraction preferred in processing lines
Respiratory Protection: Use dust mask (N95 or better) for prolonged handling or spill cleanup
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles if airborne levels expected
Skin Protection: Standard gloves if frequent contact, protective clothing not usually required
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing after use, launder before reuse
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits for ginseng powder, consider nuisance dust threshold (e.g. 10 mg/m³ inhalable per OSHA/ACGIH)
