Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
Signal Word: None
Hazard Statements: No known significant hazards
Precautionary Statements: Avoid dust generation, use personal protective equipment for handling
Health Effects: Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort; inhalation of dust may irritate respiratory tract
Physical Hazards: Fine powder can create dust clouds, avoid ignition sources

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Magnesium Citrate Anhydrous
Purity: >98%
Impurities: Trace amounts of moisture or related citrates
Ingredient: Single ingredient, multi-component mixtures are not relevant for this material
Additional Additives: None detected or anticipated based on standard manufacturing process

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, monitor for respiratory symptoms such as coughing or wheezing, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes for at least 15 minutes using clean water while eyelids are open, remove contact lenses, consult a healthcare provider for ongoing redness or discomfort
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel, seek evaluation if large quantities swallowed or if symptoms develop

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguishers
Specific Hazards: Fine dust in air can present explosion risk in confined spaces, combustion produces carbon oxides and magnesium oxide
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective firefighting clothing to avoid exposure to combustion fumes
Advice for Firefighters: Cool exposed containers, prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Limit dust formation, ventilate area, avoid skin and eye contact, use proper PPE such as gloves and safety glasses
Spill Response: Sweep up material without raising dust, use a HEPA-filtered vacuum for fine residue, place in labeled containers for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers and waterways, notify appropriate authorities if large releases occur
Clean-up Techniques: After removal, wash affected area with water to eliminate residual powder

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid breathing dust, wash hands after handling, use local exhaust ventilation, minimize contact with skin and eyes
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, protect from moisture and incompatible substances
Storage Incompatibilities: Store away from strong acids and oxidizing agents
Specific End Uses: Observe routine safe chemical handling practices in industrial, laboratory, or pharmaceutical environments

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit for magnesium citrate; follow general nuisance dust guidelines (ACGIH TLV for particulates not otherwise regulated: 10 mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, dust collection systems
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile or latex), safety goggles, lab coat, dust mask or particulate respirator when dust may be present
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling, prevent ingestion or inhalation by following safe laboratory and workplace protocols
