Special Hazards: Dust may form explosive mixture with air in confined or unventilated areas. Thermal decomposition may release small amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Remove containers from fire area if this can be done without risk; cool closed containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhaling dust; use personal protective equipment as required
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities entering drains or watercourses
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum spilled material; avoid creating airborne dust; place collected material in suitable containers for reuse or disposal. Wash area with water to remove residual fine particles
Waste Disposal: Dispose of according to local, regional, national, and international regulations; composting or landfill by approved methods
Handling: Pour gently to minimize dust generation. Use local exhaust ventilation in dusty areas. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in the work area. Keep away from open flames and sources of ignition if dust is present.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, strong oxidizers, and strong acids. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Use containers made of materials compatible with dry, powdered plant fiber.
Exposure Limits: No exposure limit assigned for pea fiber. Treat as nuisance dust; ACGIH recommends 10 mg/m3 (total dust), 3 mg/m3 (respirable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local ventilation, dust collection systems. Ensure proper air exchange.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Respirators (NIOSH-approved) if dust exceeds recommended limits. Safety glasses or goggles. Protective gloves and clothing for prolonged contact or heavy handling.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
